Rent Death of a Salesman (1985)


Willy Loman (Dustin Hoffman) has spent his entire working life as a struggling travelling salesman, living under the illusion that he and his family are destined for success. In order to cope with his failures Willy lives in the past and begins to lose touch with reality. Willy's life takes a tragic turn when he is fired from his long-time job forcing him to live on handouts from his old friend Charlie (Charles Durning). His depression worsens as he comes to terms with life around him - his eldest son Biff (John Malkovich) is an unemployed Kleptomaniac and younger son Happy (Stephen Lang) is a cynical womaniser. Willy feels particularly guilty about an affair which has distanced him from Biff. A broken man, Willy contemplates suicide rather than face the reality that his life has been a failure...
