Kelly Reichardt’s darkly comedic feature film debut returned the scriptwriter/director to the suburbs of southern Florida where she grew up with her father, a detective, and her mother, a narcotics agent. River of Grass, that was shot on 16mm, dissatisfied housewife Cosy and aimless slacker Lee think they have accidentally shot a man. They try to go on the run like every other outlaw couple before them. But what are they actually fleeing from?
