Old Joy

Two old friends from Portland, Oregon spend a weekend in the woods searching for a remote hot spring and the easy rapport they once shared. A shrewd exploration of what can happen when two guys lose themselves in nature, Kelly Reichardt’s festival favorite features alt-country superstar Will Oldham (aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy).
