A group of young people live in a small and sad farm town in the South of the United States. During an innocent game in an abandoned amusement park, one of them dies. Forced to face up to the dramatic situation and make a series of hard choices, the young people show themselves to be true contemporary American heroes.
"Right from the beginning I felt the need for organic unity. We weren't looking for actors, places or controlled environments. Our main source of light was the sun and we used live sound as much as possible" (David Gordon Greene).
Biography
film director
David Gordon Green
David Gordon Green (Little Rock, AR, USA, 1975) grew up in Texas and studied directing at the North Carolina School of Art. After a long series of shorts, he debuted in feature films in 2001 with George Washington, which won that year’s Torino Film Festival. In 2003, he made All the Real Girls, which received a Special Jury Prize at Sundance. He continued making indie films, which are deeply rooted in American culture and at the same time have a magical melancholy realism: Undertow (2004), produced by Terence Malick and which competed at the Torino Film Festival; and Snow Angels (2007). His films Pineapple Express (2008), Your Highness (2011), and The Sitter (2011) veered toward a more commercial type of cinema, but he recaptured the expressive atmosphere and freedom of his early works with Prince Avalanche and his next movie, Joe (2013), which competed at the Venice Film Festival.
