A tantalizing glimpse of a talented director and his stars all at the top of their respective games, Gus Van Sant's loose reworking of Henry IV is smart and audacious.
My Own Private Idaho follows two friends, Mike and Scott (River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves), on a journey of self-discovery and survival as they navigate the streets of Portland and the landscapes of Idaho. This poignant film delves into themes of love, identity, and societal marginalization. [102 min; drama; English]
"A simultaneously heartbreaking and exhilarating road movie." — Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"Cracked and beautiful, stranger than strange, yet in some assuring way so pulsing with life that it embraces you as warmly as Father Knows Best." — Stephen Hunter, Baltimore Sun
"One of the most original cinematic talents at work in this country, Van Sant has a knack for pulling disparate elements together and twisting them into wildly funny lyrical odysseys of the mind and heart." — Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times
