Director: Sean Penn
Cast: Emila Hirsch, William Hurt, Marcia Gay Harden
Origin: USA
Year: 2007
Running Time: 148 mins
Sean Penn's outstanding film tells the true story of Christopher McCandless, a bright young American graduate who horrified his parents by sending his $24,000 savings to Oxfam, abandoning his possessions and hiking off into the wilderness in search of a radical re-engagement with nature - in homage to his heroes, Thoreau, Tolstoy and Jack London.
Penn's direction shows great maturity and produces exceptional performances from even the smallest parts, particularly Emile Hirsch as the young man.
