The best film that is going to be released this week - and surely the one that will attract the least audience - is "Frozen river" Thanks to which the actress Melissa Leo achieved an Oscar nomination and won the award for best performance at the last San Sebastian Festival.
Frozen river tells us about the drama that Ray Eddy (Melissa Leo) lives, who, abandoned by her husband with all the money, is forced, faced with the threat of embargo, to pass immigrants from Canada to the USA through an icy river that forms in the winter period.
Frozen river It was directed by Courtney Hunt, who bases this, his first feature film, on his 2004 short of the same name, but it was not until three years later that he did not get enough funding to make his feature film.
