Story
River of Grass follows Cozy, a dissatisfied housewife who meets Lee at a bar one night in Florida. After having a drink together, their evening takes an unexpected turn when they decide to break into her home for unknown reasons. In the process, a gunshot rings out, leading them to believe they have committed murder. Panicked, Cozy and Lee go on the run together, fleeing into the Everglades.
Summary
Directed by Kelly Reichardt in 1994, River of Grass is a drama film set in the Florida wetlands. The movie, which was made before Reichardt's renowned 'slow cinema' phase, is more akin to Jim Jarmusch's grungy filmmaking style. It centers around Cozy and Lee, two outcasts who find themselves on the fringes of society after their impulsive actions send them on a desperate journey. River of Grass marks an early commitment by Reichardt to exploring America's margins and its marginalized inhabitants.
