Watchlist:
Jamie (Taylor Olson) works a wood processor, clear-cutting for pulp in small-town Nova Scotia. At the end of each shift, he walks through the destruction he has created looking for injured animals and rescues those he can. Adapted from a play by Nova Scotian author Catherine Banks, Bone Cage is an impressive first feature from Halifax actor/filmmaker Taylor Olson that sensitively excavates the tragedy of how young people in rural communities, employed in the destruction of their environment, treat the people they love at the end of their shift.
Why you might like this:
Fans of thoughtful, character-driven dramas will appreciate the sensitive, intimate portrayal of a young man grappling with the moral weight of his work in the timber industry, as directed by first-time feature filmmaker Taylor Olson in the 2020 film 'Bone Cage'.
