Mud - Clips

Ellis and Neckbone are two young boys from Mississippi who spend their time exploring the wilderness and river near their home. When they discover a sizeable motor boat stuck in a tree after a flood, they think they've hit the jackpot of all discoveries and claim it as their own. However, they soon notice that food has been left there, leading them to believe that someone has been sleeping there. Unnerved, they leave to find their boat and venture home, only to come across a new neighbour on the isolated island, Mud. Mud is hiding from some bounty hunters who want to arrest him for killing a man in Texas who attempted to steal his girlfriend Juniper. Initially, wary of him, the boys soon warm to him and agree to bring him food if he helps them mend their motor boat before Juniper arrives to meet him. However, things aren't as easy as they seem when the boys start becoming suspicious of Mud and Juniper has problems of her own.

'Mud' is a heartfelt drama tackling issues of morality, right and wrong, killing and protecting. Directed and written by Jeff Nichols ('Take Shelter', 'Shotgun Stories'), 'Mud' was nominated for the prestigious Palme d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival. It is set for release on April 26th 2013.
