Neil LaBute moves from the jet-black humor of Nurse
Betty to the romance of Possession


His plays and films are about people-mainly men-behaving badly.
They're about relationships, which means men vs. woman, where
nasty people lie, cheat and betray each other. But Possession,
Neil LaBute's new movie starring Gwyneth Paltrow, is
adapted from a prize-winning literary romance. So why the
switch?
