Old Joy is the story of two old friends, Kurt (Will Oldham) and Mark (Daniel London), who reunite for a weekend camping trip in the Cascade mountain range east of Portland, Oregon. Old Joy is a minimalist story of friendship, loss and alienation in the Bush era. As the hours progress and the landscape evolves, the twin seekers move through a range of subtle emotions, enacting a pilgrimage of mutual confusion, sudden insight, and recurring intimations of spiritual battle. Starring Will Oldham (aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy), and featuring original music by Yo La Tengo, along with the breathtaking Oregon landscapes Old Joy is a totally original and richly rewarding visual and aural experience for our times.
