Nebraska (2013)
Country: US
Technical: bw/2.35:1 115m
Director: Alexander Payne
Cast: Bruce Dern, Will Forte, Stacy Keach, June Squibb
Synopsis:
An audio equipment salesman drives his Dad across two states on a hopeless quest to collect on a publishing company's prize draw. On the way he attempts to make emotional contact with his remote, Alzheimer's-afflicted parent, and learns something of the ineffable value - and inconstant price - of family.
Review:
Sublimely understated road movie, in which Payne toys with some of the themes he has handled before, and the cinematography perfectly catches the pervading mood of blunt fatalism tinged with forlorn hope (the son's holding out for his father is the mirror image of the latter's dogged faith in his million-dollar award.) Forte is superb as the sadsack son, and it is great to see Dern again after so many years.
