The Road
When: Nov. 14
Who: Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce; directed by John Hillcoat
What: A caring father (Mortensen) does whatever he must to bring his son (Smit-McPhee) to safety in the post-apocalyptic barren wasteland that was once America.
Brian Says: Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men was tonally elusive as both a book and a movie: horrifying but certainly not of the horror genre. The Road, based on the Oprah-approved (and thus Oprah-sullied) author’s 2006 Pulitzer winner, will be equally grim and hard to pin down. It could also potentially follow in No Country’s Oscar footsteps, which would be quite a coup for dark movies!
