When Ivy League professor Bill Kincaid receives news of the murder of his identical twin brother, Brady (both played by Academy Award® nominee Edward Norton), in a pot deal gone bad, he leaves the world of Northeastern academia to travel back to his home state of Oklahoma. He's soon caught in the dangerous and unpredictable world of drug commerce in the backwaters of the Southwest. He reconnects with his eccentric mother (Susan Sarandon), meets a wise and educated young woman (Keri Russell), and unwittingly helps his troubled brother settle a score with a drug lord (Richard Dreyfuss) who uses Tulsa, Oklahoma's small Jewish community for cover. Leaves of Grass follows a twisting narrative path merging crime drama, drug comedy, classical philosophy and sudden violence in pursuit of answering one of humanity's oldest questions: What does it truly mean to live a happy and constructive life? Written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson, Leaves of Grass stars Edward Norton, Keri Russell, Tim Blake Nelson, Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfuss, Josh Pais, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Melanie Lynskey. The film is produced by William Migliore, Tim Blake Nelson, Edward Norton, Elie Cohn, John Langley and Kristina. Running Time: 104 minutes * LEAVES OF GRASS will be released on April 22nd.
