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]
