Wildlife

In 1960s Montana, young Joe moves to a small town with his parents – Jeanette is a housewife and Jerry works on a golf course. When Jerry loses his job, and much of his pride, he decides to join other men to fight a raging wildfire in the nearby mountains. In his father’s absence, Joe assumes the role of responsible adult while Jeanette tries to take care of the family in different ways. Esteemed American actor Paul Dano’s directional debut is an elegant and sensitive drama starring Carry Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal in extraordinary roles as parents scrambling for a way to make things right. Wildlife premiered at Sundance Film Festival and opened the Critics Week at Cannes.
