American 2009
Does Ryan Bingham believe the knapsack philosophy he preaches? Will the high priest of detachment continue to love the air? Does our handsome harbinger really believe in 'death's' silver lining? We may never know the answer to these questions, but the journey of the film is compelling, depressing and all too real.
This thoughtful comedy (and I use the term tntatively), is a velvet glove on a granite fist. George, Vera and Anna; Bravo!
