OLD JOY screening / 4:30 PM / Rosenwald Theater
Old Joy tells the story of two friends, Kurt (Will Oldham) and Mark (Daniel London), as they reunite for a weekend camping trip in the Cascade mountain range and Bagby Hot Springs, east of Portland, Oregon. The film is a story of friendship, loss and alienation. For Mark, the weekend outing offers a respite from the pressure of his imminent fatherhood; for Kurt, it is part of a long series of carefree adventures.
Old Joy received highly favorable reviews from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 85% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 80 reviews — with the consensus that “a serene, melancholy beauty permeates this meditative film.”[2] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 84 out of 100, based on 24 reviews — indicating “universal acclaim”.[3] The New York Times called it “one of the finest American films of the year”[4].
