Film Preview: Ain't Them Bodies Saints

Probably a little early to be previewing this film, another in a succession of films that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival that was picked up for distribution. At the point of writing there still isn't an official trailer for this film so it is hard to get a read on how the film is but reviews from Sundance pointed to a return to the style of the likes of Terence Malick and Robert Altman's outlaw films from the 1970's which is exciting to say the least. The film has a lot of intense visual images of the Texan countryside and some very troubled characters at its heart.


The tale of an outlaw (Casey Affleck) who escapes from prison and sets out across the Texas hills to reunite with his wife (Rooney Mara) and the daughter he has never met.

Ain't Them Bodies Saints doesn't have an official UK release date but it is rumored it should be released around the end of 2013 here.
