Outlawed Lovers Make a Return with ‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints’
From Bonnie and Clyde to Natural Born Killers, film history have been peppered by the most smitten of criminals.The appeal to audiences? The star-crossed fate is one that always provides for a thrilling ride. Not to mention if the film is backed by an innovative director, such as David Lowery. He was dubbed one of the 25 new faces of independent film in 2011, and has a beautiful, fluid style of direction (likened to the gorgeous work of Terrance Malick). This film solidifies his title as a prominent new director. The cast, too, serves up a treat, with the Rooney Mara and Casey Afleck.
The film debuted at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it claimed the award for best Cinematography from the States and was also nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. It has been selected to compete in the International Critics’ Week section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
