Geschichte
American Pastoral follows Seymour 'Swede' Levov, a man who seems to have it all: he's a former high school athlete, married to his beauty queen wife Dawn, and running his father's successful glove factory in New Jersey. Their daughter Merry grows up seemingly perfect, but as she reaches her teens, she becomes involved in political activism that takes a violent turn. This threatens Swede's idyllic life and family unity.
Zusammenfassung
American Pastoral is a 2016 drama directed by Ewan McGregor, based on Philip Roth's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. Set in post-WWII America, spanning the 1960s to the 1970s, the film explores the unraveling of an American family's perfect facade due to their daughter's political activism. The narrative delves into themes of parenting, societal expectations, and the erosion of innocence during turbulent times.
