What happens when hippies run amok....

I loved this film. It was beautiful in execution, script, acting, location and technique. I usually use the films I see at the festival to recommend films to friends and family for the coming year, and this will definitely be on that list...not that there's been anything I've seen this year that wouldn't. I must commend the actors, directors and film festival people behind the selection of this year's films. I've yet to see anything that hasn't been extraordinary in some way. It's truly a pleasure when one gets to see such a collection of wonderful work in one setting.
The parent child dynamic in this film was handled masterfully and believably by both actors in such a way that one could believe that with the right (hippie) parents you can actually grow up and not feel a need to rebel...until your mid-life crisis. I also was pleased to learn of the required Western male tradition of telling your father to "F*** Off".
