HESHER is a film that has been waiting around for a long time for a release with stills hitting the what seems like years ago. Good news though is we finally have a trailer and I have to say I was originally dreading the look of the film but it actually looks pretty good. Here’s the synopsis;
Loud music. Pornography. burning shit to the ground. These are a few of Hesher’s favourite things. And they are what Hesher (Joseph Gordon Levitt) brings into the lives of TJ (Devin Brochu) and his father, Paul (Rainn Wilson) when he takes up residence in their garage uninvited.
Grief-stricken by the loss of TJ’s mother in a car accident, Paul can’t muster the strength to evict the strange squatter, and soon the long-haired, tattooed Hesher becomes a fixture in the household. Like a force of nature, Hesher’s anarchy shakes the family out of their grief and helps them embrace life once more.
I’m liking the mix of darkness and humour as well as Natalie Portman and Rainn Wilson’s roles in the films. The film only has a US release date at this point, 22nd April 2011, but I’m sure with this being the year of Portman that it will be out in the UK not long after that.
