SXSW 2008: The Order of Myths

March 9, 2008 – 2:15 pm

Blending highly controlled fly-on-the-wall verite action with talking head contextualization, Myths finds an unusual tonal sweet spot somewhere in between absurdist comedy and melancholy in considering two groups at a socio-historical impasse.
