I'd been reading about
The Wolfpack for awhile now - a documentary about a family of teenage boys living in the lower east side of New York, very rarely allowed to ever leave their apartment and sustaining themselves on a steady diet of movies. The
trailer paints an understandably sad and oppressive picture but the movie itself shows a real triumph of will for these kids. They seem amazingly well socialized (on the whole) and incredibly creative with their tactics for swede'ing scenes from their favorite films.
It's in theaters, on iTunes,
Amazon and the other usual suspects. Highly recommend. If you've seen it already, be sure to watch this
interview with director Crystal Moselle and
Mirror Heart, the short film that the brothers wrote and directed.
