Thought provoking, inspiring, disturbing - I cannot recommend this film highly enough.
Directed by Sean Penn, the true story of Christopher McCandless who graduated from Emory University, gave away all his possessions and hitchhiked to Alaska.
As great a film as Atonement was shite in fact.
In fact Patrick, buy the DVD to wash the taste of Atonement from your mouth - it'll refresh your appetite no end.
