Film 16

[Blue in the Face]

Into the Wild on Netflix is based on the true story of Christopher McCandless who shuns conformity and goes hitch-hiking across the US with the ultimate aim of living life in Alaska. Beautifully filmed,intelligent and poignant with Emile Hirsch superb in the lead role.
It won't suit everybody's tastes but I thought it was really good.

Love "Into the Wild". "The Pledge" is another film directed by Sean Penn that I like a lot. I seem to remember his first film "Indian Runner" being good too.

If you like Into the Wild, you may enjoy a film from the '70s called "The Passenger" starring Jack Nicholson. Bit more art-house I guess. But similar in that its a broody road movie with loads of space to think...

Cheers for that. Will look out for The Passenger.
