Old Joy (2006, Kelly Reichardt)
Dig how every movie I see in the first five months of the current year always has the previous year’s release date on the IMDB page.
A female-directed movie where both the male leads get naked, heh. Of course I saw this cuz Bonnie Will Oldham plays Kurt. Vaguely adrian-brody-like guy named Daniel London plays Mark… was apparently in Minority Report and Patch Adams.
The title comes from the line “sorrow is nothing but worn-out joy”. One of the few lines in a very quiet movie. Peaceful, especially once they get to the hot springs. Supposedly it’s “about” two old friends trying in vain to reconnect their dying friendship. I didn’t have this feeling of regret and woe hanging over my head, found it to be a profoundly happy movie.
