Director: David Gordon Green
2000 / 98min / 35mm
The 25-year-old Gordon Green established himself straightaways as a unique and conspicuous talent with his lyrical feature debut, which tracks the humble quotidian lives and noble inner aspirations of five poor rural North Carolina pre-teens, Black and white, indelibly played by an ensemble of nonprofessionals. Showing an awakening knowledge of love and death as it affects the kids’ innocent, lazy day idylls, Green tenderly regards his characters in their spiritual and moral strivings, leant a quiet majesty through Tim Orr’s photographing of the piney Southern landscape. “Green’s artistic, spiritual search amounts to nothing less than a rediscovery of the American soul… a work of humbling, breathtaking beauty.”—Armond White
