An odd couple of sorts, Alvin, meditative and stern, and his girlfriend’s brother Lance, dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the center of a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As the two begin their gradual journey across the landscape, swapping stories and butting heads, what unfolds is an unexpectedly humorous yet moving examination of an unlikely friendship that reveals distinct approaches to finding one‘s way in life. In Prince Avalanche, American filmmaker David Gordon Green exhibits his mastery for infusing poignant character study with comedic insight through subtle shifts in tone, incisive dialogue, and a profound appreciation for place. Adapted from Either Way, an Icelandic film, Prince Avalanche is driven by strong performances by the two male leads.
