The Road
2009 · TMDB 7.0
Directed by John Hillcoat
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones and, when the snow falls, it is gray. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there.
Why it matters
A father and son push a shopping cart through a grey, ash-covered America, scavenging for food and evading cannibal gangs. Viggo Mortensen's performance is a study in exhausted devotion.
