"Walking Out"

A subtle, slow-moving cinematic poem about fathers and sons, and moving on. I know this description sounds cryptic, but watch this film all the way through and I think you'll agree. A young man on winter break from college, returns to spend some time with his father in rural Montana. The two hike into the mountains in search of wild game. When an accident occurs, it's up to the son to find their way back to civilization. It's the age-old story of survival, but, in a way like "A River Runs Through It," is done with great care and love of nature. (I heard a rumor that Robert Redford was involved in the movie, so it's not surprising). The cinematography and breathtaking scenery, especially the arial views, are worth the price of admission. It almost makes one want to visit this gorgeous place in the winter. Almost.
