A young man gives up everything – including his trust fund and ties to a seemingly stable family – to lead a solitary life in the wild. – – – It’s 1992, and straight-A graduate Christopher McCandless (Hirsch) destroys his ID, donates his savings to charity, and, with no warning to friends and family, drops off the radar to bum around the US under the moniker “Alexander Supertramp.” – – – With the whole of America as his backdrop, Sean Penn pulls off his most ambitious movie yet. The result is a beautiful and thought-provoking road movie. By Dan Jolin | Posted On28 10 2007 in EMPIRE
