Plots(1)
Adapted from the classic novel by William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying is the story that chronicles the Bundren family as they traverse the Mississippi countryside to bring the body of their deceased mother Addie to her hometown for burial. Addie’s husband Anse (Tim Blake Nelson) and their children, Cash (Jim Parrack), Darl (James Franco), and three of their siblings, leave the farm with her coffin - each affected by Addie’s death in a profound and different way. Their road trip to Jefferson, forty miles away, is disrupted by every antagonistic force of nature or man: flooded rivers, injury and accident, a raging barn fire, and not least of all - each individual character’s personal turmoil, which threaten the fabric of the family more than any outside force.
