Jesus' Son
Billy Crudup stars as a young drifter who gets hooked on heroin in this star-studded story of addiction, recovery and redemption.
Director: Alison Maclean
Overview
Through a series of vignettes, a young man in his twenties known only as “Fuckhead” or FH for short, recounts the story of his life through the early 70s, from meeting his love Michelle, to his descent into heroin addiction. Along the way he meets a quirky parade of characters. As he stumbles towards sobriety, he discovers the depth of his own compassion, and the grace that comes with it.
Based on a collection of short stories by Denis Johnson, director Alison Maclean extracts excellent performances from the all-star supporting cast, including Dennis Hopper, Holly Hunter and a terrific early role for Michael Shannon.
