On the road again..

The ugly American is an image that we can't seem to shake. In A Band of Rogues, you see a group of musicians that are in a foreign land and violate a few laws and convicted. They are sent to rehab and there befriend a native Argentinean and paves the way for these misfits to go on an adventure of self discover. The principle actors are Atlanta based and the movie is directed by Atlanta based writer T. Jara Morgan. Each of the transitions of the chapter within the story center is hooked on a different song. A bit slow in places, the story is one of youthful angst and the journey of self discovery. The setting is beautiful and great overview of a exotic foreign land.

I saw this film at a festival here in Western Canada, and was blown away. I've been looking ever since for a chance to see it again, would recommend it to anyone. This film is so understated, so seemingly "throw-away" (in fact I understand that some of the scenes were actually the result of happenstance - more power to the film-makers for capturing them) it's deceptive...but watch closely, you'll see some absolutely incredible acting, genius editing, quirky, original, treatment of profoundly universal themes. A true gem. Even the setting in Argentina seems bizarre, but works perfectly on many levels - funny, uncomfortable, slightly tragic - life happens.
