What The Road Is About
John Hillcoat's 2009 film follows a father and son walking south through a country after catastrophe. There is almost no food left. Anyone they meet may be a threat. The film promises no hope; the narrative makes what the father teaches his son its real subject and mostly implies its violence. It is adapted from a novel. Viggo Mortensen leads. The image is kept close to colourless throughout. Who it's for: those who like heavy, bleak drama. Who it's not for: viewers looking for hope; the film offers almost none.
