official description

The Big Chill unites a unique ensemble of stars in a provocative comedy of values. When a group of friends reunite for the funeral of a friend who has committed suicide, they realize how much they’ve changed since the idealism of their youth. Stunned by the loss, each comes to the reunion with a deep need to re-establish the bond of caring they once shared. Kasdan’s film emerges as a bittersweet testimony to a confused generation, one that has survived the passions of youth and grown through painful self-awareness and love into adulthood.
