Classic Broadway musical RENT came to screen in 2005. Showing the lives of 7 friends…Roger a musician dealing with the death of his girlfriend and accepting that he has HIV. Mark, a film editor capturing the lives of the homeless while dealing with the fact that his girlfriend left him for another woman. Maureen, protesting a cyber studio to be built and trying to handle being in a relationship with Joanne who is a confident lesbian and doesn’t deserve the crap Maureen puts her through. Mimi, the young stripper also dealing with HIV and has her eyes set on Roger. Collins, an MIT graduate also stricken with HIV who happens to fall in love with Angel. Angel is the heart of the group.
This musical is heartfelt and amazing for anyone into Broadway Classics. The film was directed by Chris Columbus.
