Old Joy Trailer

"A must see" New York Times, "Exquisite, achingly beautiful" LA Weekly. Old Joy is the story of two old friends, Kurt (Will Oldham aka ... all » Bonnie Prince Billy) and Mark (Daniel London), who reunite for a weekend camping trip in the Cascade mountain range east of Portland, Oregon. Old Joy is a minimalist story of friendship, loss and alienation in the Bush era. For Mark, the weekend outing offers a respite from the pressure of his imminent fatherhood; for Kurt, it is part of a long series of carefree adventures. Featuring an original soundtrack by Yo La Tengo.

This movie is transcendental. Sundance Channel shows it occasionally, which is where I ran across it. The combination of the setting and the excellent Yo La Tengo score take me straight back to years past as a kid traveling and camping along the Pacific coast. See it if you can, but only if you have no distractions and can afford the time to just float.
