The Ballad of Jack and Rose (DVD)

Fueled by compelling performances from Daniel Day-Lewis as Jack and Camilla Belle as his daughter, Ballad is a depiction of both a man's legacy and a young woman's coming of age. It's a story of a man's struggle to live an environmentally correct life and separate himself and his family from the dictates of "civilization." But ultimately Jack's deteriorating health and his daughter's developing independence create real questions about whether this carefully structured existence can continue. When Jack invites his girlfriend (Catherine Keener) and her sons to his island commune, a clash with the outside world is inevitable.
