The East
Movie Type:
Thriller, Action, Drama (116 min)
Director:
Zal Batmanglij
Star Cast:
Brit Marling, Alexander Skarsgård, and Ellen Page.
Story line:
Sarah, a cinematic spy, says goodbye to her preppy boyfriend
and smuggles a smart phone in the sole of her tennis shoe, after in a slightly
absurd sequence dying her brown hair blonde to hide her identity. Then she's
off on the road, riding the rails with the lost kids, palling around the
bonfire, dumpster diving, and snapping photos of the freegans she meets along
the way. She sends her reports back to her home office, where her boss (a
devious Patricia Clarkson) dreams up ways to profit from her intelligence.
Eventually, she meets up with The East: a seemingly rag-tag band of misfits
working out of what appear to be the rich-kid ruins of Wayne manor. The cult is led by a magnetic
Alexander Skarsgaard, with signature six-pack abs and a Jesus beard so scraggly
he could be starring in an Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes biopic.
Ellen Page plays the distrustful badass; Shiloh Fernandez is the loyal queer
activist with eyeliner and a collection of harlequin coats. A charming Toby
Kebbel shines as Doc, who despite his tremors and doubts, is the glue of the
group.
Release Date:
May 2013
