Promised Land (2012 Gus Van Sant)

Written by and starring Matt Damon and John Krazinsky, based on Dave Eggers novel. I think Capra would have liked film about town that thinks it's going to sell out to frackers, and gets played. It's quite open-ended, actually.

With Frances McDormand, Hal Holbrook, Rosemarie DeWitt, Titus Welliver (The Town, Argo, The Good Wife), Sara Lindsey.

Photographed by Linus Sandgren, who seems to be eschewing artificial light altogether, with the result that it's rather dark. Filmed in Pennsylvania. Gus likes his profile shots but otherwise isn't doing anything crazy this time.
