Sneak Peak at "Leaves
of Grass"
When Ivy League classics professor Bill
Kincaid receives news of the murder of his estranged identical twin
brother, Brady (both played by two-time Academy Award nominee Edward
Norton), in a pot deal gone bad, he leaves the world of Northeastern
academia to travel back to his home state of Oklahoma.
Upon arrival, he finds that reports of his
brother’s death are greatly exaggerated, and he’s soon caught up in the
dangerous and unpredictable world of drug commerce in the backwaters of
the Southwest.
In the process, he reconnects with his
eccentric mother (Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon), meets a wise
and educated young woman who has bypassed academia in favor of the
gentler rhythms of life (Keri Russell), and unwittingly helps his
troubled brother settle a score with a pernicious drug lord (Academy
Award winner Richard Dreyfuss) who uses Tulsa, Oklahoma’s small Jewish
community for cover.
Leaves
of Grass follows a twisting narrative path merging crime
drama, drug comedy, classical philosophy and sudden violence in pursuit
of answering one of humanity’s oldest questions: What does it truly
mean to live a happy and constructive life?
An amazing cast could make an otherwise
average flick like Leaves
Of Grass into must-see cinema, if only because Edward
Norton really needs a hit!
