River of Grass has all the elements of a conventional road movie a car a gun criminal plans and young lovers on the run from an angry father who also happens to be a suspended police officer But writer and director Kelly Reichardt has instead taken these familiar elements and fashioned an antiroad movie a deadpan film that is more existentialist comedy than crime drama The young lovers in question are Cozy the cops daughter and Lee Ray a shady character from the wrong end of town Lee Ray comes into possession of a pistol and soon he and Cozy find themselves unintentionally involved in a shooting Fearing capture by the law the two make plans to leave town committing a series of robberies on the way However they dont manage to get very far indeed the films central premise is how the romantic myth of lovers on the lam proves disappointing in the face of a far more pedestrian reality This wellreceived lowbudget indie was shot on location in South Florida placing its story against an appropriately depressed landscape of sunbleached strip malls barren highways and overgrown swampy fields the title is another name for the Florida Everglades
