Alexander Payne is back with his much awaited release “Nebraska” which won the Best Actor Award (Bruce Dern) at Cannes 2013 and was also nominated for the prestigious Palm d’Or. The film is entirely shot in B/W by cinematographer Phedon Papamichael and I must say it looks so gorgeous and stunning. According to the critics, who have watched this film in Cannes and Telluride film festivals, mid-America landscape has never been captured so wonderfully.
The trailer looks warm, charming and humorous and its undoubtedly going to be a joyful ride. Payne has always been noted for creating likeable and real characters whom you can relate very easily. Remember the charming mingling of wine, country side and relationships in Sideways or the fascinating relationship between Clooney and her daughters in The Descendants which were such a treat to watch.
The story of the film revolves around an aged retired man who believes that he has won a million dollars as a prize money in some lottery. His family tries hard to convince him that it might be a scam, but he is determined to take this trip to claim his money and eventually his son accompanies him. The film is about their journey where father-son duo meet up people to whom the father actually owes money.
The film stars 77 year old actor Bruce Dern who has received highly positive reviews from the critics and is believed to have given a remarkable performance and a strong Oscar contender this year.
