“A triumph of modesty and seriousness that also happens to be one of the finest American films of the year… Working with her cinematographer, Peter Sillen, she (Reichardt) offers up a world of enchantments…” – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times “Quietly gripping. Rapturously received at festivals. It visualizes an enormously moving Eden that can’t last forever. The film’s beauty comes from its emotional precision and subtle development. Reichardt’s thorough examination of men’s bonds will resonate long after you leave the forest.” – Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out NY “Oldham is brilliantly annoying as the cow-eyed free spirit. Reichardt’s evocatively low-key sense of nature seems closer to classic Japanese than current American cinema. OLD JOY is an adventure out of time. This road movie is at least as tender as it is ironic.” – J. Hoberman, Village Voice “An elusive and haunting meditation on the passing of a friendship. Against a radiant backdrop of decay and rebirth, nothing needs to be said; everything in this lovely film is crystalline.” – David Edelstein, New York Magazine Two friends in their 30s, played by alt-country singer/songwriter Will Oldham and Daniel London, embark on a camping trip in the majestic Cascade Mountains near Portland, Oregon. One is on the verge of fatherhood, the other, more mysterious, has no strings attached. The trajectory of their relationship, surrounded by gorgeous wilderness, makes for a minimalist yet powerful tale of friendship and alienation in Bush-era America. With original music by Yo La Tengo. USA • 2006 • 76 minutes • Kino International
