A meditation on friendship, human need and frailty, New Jerusalem explores the allure and limitations of modern utopian belief. Sean (Colm O’Leary), an Irish immigrant to America, returning from a non-combat tour of duty in Afghanistan, finds his heart and mind in disarray. He befriends Ike (Will Oldham, AKA Bonnie “Prince” Billy), a strong willed evangelical, who endeavors to ensure his salvation. Inundated by a relentless fragility, Sean is confronted by a choice between the temptation of certainty and the chaos of the world around him.

The film it seems looks like a film out of the Dardenne catalogue. It will surely be a critical praised movie. It seems to feel like a thriller but it might just be otherwise. There is finally something we can catch after so long. There has been a dearth of stories in Hollywood. So it was up to these small timers to show the way.

The film should release sometime in 2010.
