Bound for Glory (Blu-ray) Twilight Time

Director Hal Ashby’s meticulously detailed bio-pic of the politically engaged singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie (a superb David Carradine) recreates the American Great Depression while also giving us a portrait of a flawed genius utterly in tune with his difficult times. Stunningly shot by the great cinematographer Haskell Wexler, and also featuring wonderful performances from Melinda Dillon, Ronny Cox, and Gail Strickland.
