Walking Out (2017)
Section: International Competition of Feature Films for Youth
Directed by: Alex & Andrew Smith
United States of America, 2017, 96 min
Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema 5
Score:
Many of us were told in school that there were seven basic types of stories, and that two of them were "man vs. nature" and "man vs. himself." Of course, all good stories ultimately fit into that second category, even if the other ones fit, too. "Walking Out," a wilderness adventure by the sibling filmmaking team of Alex and Andrew Smith, is a fine illustration of this idea. It's about a soft, suburbanized 14-year old named David who goes deep into the Montana mountains to visit his strong, silent outdoorsman father, Cal, then accompanies him on a moose-hunting trip. The expedition goes horribly awry, forcing the boy to discover an inner, primal strength he never imagined he possessed.
