Rationale for Study

Winter's Bone is the story of Ree Dolly, a 17 year old who must track down her meth-addicted father who has skipped bail before the bondsman repossesses the family homestead and timber acres to pay off his debt. Jennifer Lawrence is stunning in her first lead role as Ree,  earning her first Oscar nomination. Set in the unforgiving landscape of the Orzak mountains in Missouri, USA, Winter's Bone is a highly evocative independently produced film that offers arresting visual images that shift from the mundane to the mythical. Winter's Bone is an interesting take on a quest narrative that remains true to its intentions, giving us much to analyse in terms of the representations of communities and gender.
