Om denne film

Making his acting and directorial debut, singer John Mellencamp stars as Bud Parks in this moving love story about a famous singer's return to his tangled and sometimes incestuous small town roots. When singer Bud (Mellencamp) and his wife Alice (Mariel Hemingway) make a return to his Indiana hometown from Los Angeles to celebrate his grandfather's 80th birthday, old feelings and emotions reignite as Bud slips back into his old wild ways of late nights and heavy drinking. Bud even finds his marriage at stake after he rekindles a love affair with his high school sweetheart PJ (Kay Lenz), now his brother's wife. It's a very telling depiction of the wonderfully close-knit, yet claustrophobic small town life in rural America.
