We’ve just returned from this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and while many films that we saw over there have already left our memory, there is one which is permanently lodged. Debra Granik’s superb Leave No Trace, which stars Ben Foster and newcomer Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie, revolves around a father and daughter who live off the grid in a nature reserve in Portland, Oregon. Loosely based on a true story, and indeed the novel by “My Abandonment” by Peter Rock, Leave No Trace is undoubtedly one of our favourite films of the year, as many of the comments on the debut UK poster and in the new trailer clearly show.

Here’s the official synopsis:

LEAVE NO TRACE, is the latest haunting film from Debra Granik (the Academy Award®-nominated Winter’s Bone, Stray Dog, Down To The Bone), a moody, mysterious and mesmerizing exploration of an unexpected existence on the edge. A teenage girl (breakout newcomer Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie) and her father (Ben Foster) have lived undetected for years in Forest Park, a vast woods on the edge of Portland, Oregon. A chance encounter leads to their discovery and removal from the park and into the charge of a social service agency. They try to adapt to their new surroundings until a sudden decision sets them on a perilous journey into the wilderness seeking complete independence and forcing them to confront their conflicting desire to be part of a community and fierce need to live apart. Based on the novel “My Abandonment” by Peter Rock.
