William Richert

Independent filmmaking legend Gus Van Sant's third film, and the one that launched him to acclaim, starring Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix as two friends on a roadtrip from Idaho to Italy. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Henry plays.

Set in 1960s Chicago, River Phoenix is a recent high school graduate faced with two options: go to a business school like his father wants, or go alone and get a full time job.
