Traveller, Breaking The Waves, Matewan
Traveller:
Bill Paxton (Twister, Apollo 13) gives a career-topping performance as Bokky, a beguiling con-artist whose skill with a scam is legendary among the Travellers - modern-day gypsies who make a good living swindling unsuspecting victims throughout the rural South.But Bokky's solo routine is interrupted by the arrival of Pat (Mark Wahlberg, Fear), a young drifter from "the outside" who has returned to claim his birthright as a clan member.Taking Pat under his wing, Booky and his eager new accomplice carve a path of riotous larceny and trouble-bound romance across the region, until Booky meets up with Jean (Julianna Margulies, "ER"), the one woman who might have what it takes to tame his wild ways.But when both men fall under the spell of the outlaw gypsy Double D (James Gammon, Wyatt Earp), Bokky and Pat are caught up in a brilliant-but-deadly new scam that will put their loyalites - and their lives - to the ultimate test.
Breaking The Waves:
When Bess marries Jan, a handsome oil-rig worker, she experiences passion that she never imagined.Their bliss is cut short when an accident on the rig leaves Jan paralyzed.When he tells her to take other lovers, Bess is sent spiralling into a world of dark emotions she cannot understand.
Matewan:
A small town in 1920's West Virginia explodes when unionist miners clash with the owners of a tyrannical coal company.Earnest labor leader Joe Kenehan (Chris Cooper, A Time To Kill) arrives in Matewan to better the lives of the men and women of the "company town" through unionization.But in his efforts to organize the workers of the Stone Mountain Coal Company, he ignites a powderkeg of racial hostiltiy - and touches off one of the most violent incidents in the history of the Coal Wars of 1920-21 in the film that Leonard Maltin calls "compelling and compassionate...John Sayles makes every note ring true."
