Sean Penn nonconformist father in the film “A life on the run” (“Flag Day”): presented at the Cannes Film Festival 2021, the new work of the American director and actor arrives on the screens. In the double role, behind and in front of the camera, Sean Penn is on set with his daughter Dylan: protagonists of a story centered on the relationship between father and daughter. Also in the cast is his son Hopper Jack Penn.
It is a journey into the relationship between father and daughter, complicated but profound: it tells of how much she sought the approval and love of a father who, while feeding him, never fully demonstrated it. On the notes of a soundtrack with original songs by artists such as Eddie Vedder (già in «Into The Wild»), Cat Power e Glen Hansard, a poignant, melancholy and love-filled family story unfolds between an inadequate father and a daughter forced to be a parent. In the background are the great American landscapes. Penn adapted the book by Jennifer Vogel «Flim-Flam Man: The True Story of My Father’s Countrefeit Life»: the American journalist reconstructs the stories of her father, John Vogel, one of the most famous counterfeiters in America who managed to counterfeit nearly 22 million dollars.
Sean Penn is John Vogel, nonconformist, exciting and extraordinary, an eternal Peter Pan who teaches Jennifer (Dylan Penn) to live a life of risk and adventure, exhilarating for a child. As he grows up, reality begins to devour the image of his hero. The unlikely stories of him never return, but the consequences do. Jennifer builds a life of her own, away from her unstable childhood. But as John’s crazy plans continue to escalate, she can’t help but be drawn to Dad and her more devastating adventure than him. Born on the day of “Flag Day”, June 14, John feels a little like the son of the American flag: it is no coincidence that his motto is in the sign of the American Dream, “We must at all costs leave a trace”. The book, like the film, tells of his escapes, stalking, lie detector tests and the affection between a father and daughter who survives many absences and crime.
The 5th edition of “Distinguishing features: migrant” review of the association Noix De Kola. Five appointments at the Lumière with opening entrusted to «Nasrin» at Jeff Kaufman: portrait of human rights activist and political prisoner Nasrin Sotoudeh and the Iranian women’s rights movement.
