Into the Wild (2007 Sean Penn)

Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Catherine Keener, Brian H. Dierker, Vince Vaughn, Kristen Stewart, Hal Holbrook (Oscar nominated)

Very well edited by Jay Cassidy (who cut Penn's other films; also nom.) and shot by Eric Gautier (in France until 2004: The Motorcycle Diaries, Taking Woodstock and On the Road) in Panavision. In exciting news, Gautier seems lined up to be shooting Cameron Crowe's next project, which already has Alec Baldwin, Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper and Rachel McAdams booked.

Gautier had the camera in and out of the water in this scene, though magically there's no water on the lens.

Um. Ultimate freedom leads to death?

The silly boy. He was so nice that everyone wanted him to stay with them. Also, he really should have at least told his sister he was OK. Another true story.
