River of Grass

The feature film debut River of Grass by acclaimed filmmaker Kelly Reichardt—shot in creaky motels in Broward County, Florida—turns the conventions of road movies upside down.

Cozy, a dissatisfied housewife, meets Lee in a bar. One drink leads to a break-in at a house, and a gunshot forces them to flee, as they believe they have committed murder.

“Revisioning the outlaw couple genre, Kelly Reichardt's charming indie debut upends the conventions of ‘a girl and a gun’.” - BFI

“It's a genre film, it's a road movie, and so it was sort of the idea that the road movie had played itself out—how could the genre be deconstructed?” - KELLY REICHARDT
