Plots(1)
Oscar nominated actor and director, James Franco, has achieved what many thought impossible - turning William Faulkner's iconic 1930's novel into a film. Complex, multi-layered and allegorical, As I Lay Dying follows the Bundren family and their quest to honour their mother's dying wishes. Addie Bundren only ever wanted to be buried in her hometown of Jefferson, Mississippi. With her coffin carefully loaded onto a carriage, Addie's kin are about to embark on an epic journey that will test their resolve, force them to face their demons and push them to the limits of endurance. This is a landscape as harsh and foreboding as the people who inhabit it. Franco has crafted a deeply personal and profoundly moving film experience enigmatic and driven by a looming sense of doom.
