Additional InformationThis drama from director Mehdi Norowzian (KILLING JOE) was loosely inspired by the James Joyce classic ULYSSES. Set in the American South, LEO tells the story of Stephen (Joseph Fiennes, ELIZABETH), a parolee who, during his 15-year prison sentence, has struck up a pen-pal friendship with Leo, the son of the depressed and fiery Mary (Elisabeth Shue, LEAVING LAS VEGAS). As Stephen tries to reacquaint himself with the outside world and stay out of trouble, Mary struggles to come to terms with a tragic car accident that took the life of her husband and daughter. Written by Amir and Massy Tadjedin, LEO is a somber yet beautifully-filmed story of loss and redemption. With a highly acclaimed cast including Sam Shepard (BLACK HAWK DOWN), Dennis Hopper (APOCALYPSE NOW), and Deborah Unger (CRASH).
