Putty Hill

Dir. Matt Porterfield USA 87 min Not Rated

2010 Cinema Guild

English

“EXTRAORDINARY. If there’s an independent cinema, this movie is it, and if there’s a new director, here he is.” –The New Yorker

A beautifully realized portrait of a close-knit community on the outskirts of Baltimore, PUTTY HILL is the second feature from celebrated young filmmaker Matt Porterfield (HAMILTON). At a neighborhood karaoke bar, friends and family gather to remember a young man who passed away. Knowing little about his final days, they attempt to reconstruct his life. In the process, they offer a window onto their own lives, an evocative picture of working class America, dislocated from the progress and mobility around them, but united in pursuit of a shared dream.
