Last night I watched a PBS show about the King Arthur myth, and afterward I watched a DVD of the movie Down in the Valley. It was an unusual movie starring Edward Norton. It was quite well done and well written. It is a western of sorts, but set in the modern-day San Fernando Valley. It deals with a lot of subjects (like identity, coming of age, religion, mythology, and reality) in both explicit and symbolic ways. I give it four stars.
