Set in 1930's Mississippi three convicts escape from jail to retrieve a loot supposedly stolen from an armoured car by Everett and buried near his home.
During the journey the trio newly separated from their chains are met by George 'Babyface' Nelson, Tommy a young, black guitarist who they later from the 'Soggy Bottom Boys', a group of Sirens, a one eyed man called Big Dan Teague, and a KKK lynch mob.
This chaotic and humorous tale is at its heart a love story as Everett's actual motive for the jail break is to stop the wedding of his wife to another man.
Whilst, on the trail they narrowly avoid death and eventually are pardoned from their crimes.
I did enjoy this film, and think that there is a lot of scope for photographic opportunity, particularly for location based images.
This film is digitally coloured to look like Autumn and to give it an older feel, but like The Man Who Wasn't There it was recorded digitally in colour and adjusted in post processing. It might be worth looking at digital techniques for this if looking at either of there films.
