50TH Anniversary Edition!
In 2002, filmmakers Richard Searls and Stu Silverstein meticulously returned elements to the shorter, television-ready version that first appeared in 1975. This brought the film back to the way they had originally intended it. It was digitally re-mastered with almost 15 minutes of never-seen footage and two new bonus segments; A Conversation with Bob Wagg and A Word with the Filmmakers were added.
Covering a period of four seasons in the backwoods of Maine, Dead River Rough Cut presents a revealing look at the lives of Walter Lane and Bob Wagg. They live and work in the woods, cutting trees and trapping beaver and accepting their isolation for the independence it affords them. They share their reflections about friendship, women, money, the lone life and death. Amusing, insightful, sometimes outrageous, their observations and stories pull few punches.
This final version features all new music, available subtitles and overall enhanced sound quality.
Music by Scott Buckley, Dorothy Carter, John Cote’ and Ed Howe and the Gawler Family Band.
67 minutes plus bonus segments
