Scent of a Woman (1992)

Has anyone seen this? Al Pacino won his first Best Actor Oscar for his work in the film. I actually did not like it at all the first time I saw it (I thought parts of it were okay), but it has truly grown on me with time. Chris O'Donnell delivers a really good performance - shame how his career went down the gutter. Pacino's a bit over-the-top but he is good. I like the small scenes like the one where they go to his family's for Thanksgiving or flirt with the girl at the restaurant. The part that ruins it for me is the ending, which is way too typical and corny. Pacino's speech is just unbelievable (in a bad way). Apart from that, a really nice, tender, and well-done story.

An excellent call. I love this movie. It was way over the top for Pacino but loved it any way. I dont think he has stopped acting over the top since this movie actually.
This film is also notable for an early performance by the great Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

After reading the new book "In Conversation" (Pacino interviews from the past 25 yrs.) it seems Pacino is affected a lot by criticism, and I think after he won the Oscar for his role in this film he just started acting over-the-top in all his roles. If you compare Pacino now to the subtle, thoughtful Pacino from Serpico, it's hard to imagine it's even the same actor.
Still brilliant, of course, but I don't think he's given a really memorable performance in a while.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was great in this movie as the other student in the university disciplinary hearing.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I dont know what he did before that, but this was the first movie that I took notice of him in. He is slowly but surely, in my opinion, becoming one of the best film actors around right now.

his performance in The Merchant Of Venice was memorable. the though had a limited run in the U.S. which is sad, because it was great film.
