| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
An unsolved murder at Portland's infamous Paranoid Park brings
detectives to a local high school, propelling a young skater
into a moral odyssey where he must not only deal with the
pain and disconnect of adolescence but the consequences of
his own actions.
As director of MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO, GOOD WILL HUNTING, TO
DIE FOR and ELEPHANT, Gus Van Sant has created some of the
most memorable films about youth ever committed to film.
At the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, he was awarded the 60th
Anniversary Prize for Paranoid Park which is largely considered
on of his finest films. Based on the novel by Blake Nelson
and photographed by the incomparable Christopher Doyle (IN
THE MOOD FOR LOVE; 2046), the film has captivated audiences
worldwide, becoming a unanimous standout at the Cannes, New
York and Toronto Film Festivals.
