About this product

Product Information

Writer/director/star James Franco dabbles in experimental filmmaking with this ambitious adaptation of William Faulkner's famed stream-of-consciousness novel. Told from the multiple perspectives of a poverty-stricken, rural Mississippi family determined to honor their late matriarch Addie's (Beth Grant) dying wish to be buried in Jefferson, the film follows the grieving clan on their arduous journey through difficult terrain. Headed by newly widowed father Anse (Tim Blake Nelson) the family includes a son named Darl (Franco), his siblings Jewel (Logan Marshall-Green), Cash (Jim Parrack), and Vernon (Danny McBride), as well as their sister Dewey (Ahna O'Reilly). As the family make their way to Addie's final resting place, the narrative of the film continually shifts through their unique perspectives.

As I Lay Dying
An interesting presentation of one of my favorite Faulkner (indeed, American) classics. Very very tightly bound to the text of the book, so quite desperate. If you don't know the book, you may still engage, but the audience of readers is probably going to take quickest to this screen version. Well done. Some of the split screen action used to evoke the various points of view out of which the book's story unfolds can be a bit disconcerting. This is a difficult book to read, and so any realization of it in film is bound to be just as difficult. Great actors, great characterizations, great locale and photography. Great watching it develop with fair amount of intensity and tautness
