The Latest From David Gordon Green

Will be watching for Snow Angels in March. As mentioned previously, David Gordon Green's film, All the Real Girls is a favourite. He does small town really well. Not necessarily in an accurate way (since mini-suburbs pass for small towns in many areas today), but in a way that fits well with imagined small town life - picturesque main streets, family values/bored teenager leisure pursuits, inhabitants who are a little lost and a little rough but still aiming to find happiness.

Looks like he's upped the plot stakes this time around (the film is based on a novel) which should be an interesting evolution. The Believer caught up with him about Snow Angels and his other films in November 2006.
