Into the Wild
Directed by Sean Penn
2007
★ 6.3 editorial score
Sean Penn spent ten years persuading the family to let him film this: a graduate burns his savings and walks into the Alaskan interior, and the film neither mocks him nor canonizes him.
“Into the Wild is the affecting true story of Christopher McCandless, a bright young American college graduate who horrified his parents by sending his $24,000 law school fund to Oxfam, abandoning all his possessions and hiking off into the wilderness in search of a radical re-engagement with nature...The resulting film is a richly, spaciously rendered account of landscape and moodscape.”
