A brand new digital restoration of the rarely seen debut feature by American indie auteur Kelly Reichardt (Wendy and Lucy, Meek’s Cutoff), about a pair of outlaw lovers who go on a tragicomic would-be crime spree in the swampy suburbs of south Florida.
Shot on 16mm, the story follows the misadventures of disaffected housewife Cozy, played by Lisa Bowman, and the aimless layabout Lee, played by indie legend Larry Fessenden, who also acted as a producer and the film's editor. Described by Reichardt as “a road movie without the road, a love story without the love, and a crime story without the crime,” River of Grass introduces viewers to a director already in command of her craft and defining her signature themes.
