The Ballad of Jack and Rose
Daniel Day-Lewis makes this movie. Man, is he good. The movie is about a guy who lives on what used to be a commune, growing his own food, generating his own electricity, etc. All the other commune folks left years ago, and he’s holding out with his daughter in their old wooden house while suburbs are being built all around him. If you’re not so fond of “progress” as made manifest by Wal-Marts and rows and rows of houses that look exactly the same, you’ll like The Ballad of Jack and Rose. I totally dug it.
