Lean on Pete, Glasgow Film Theatre
4 – 10 May, 2018
Andrew Haigh (45 Years, Weekend) transforms Willy Vlautin’s acclaimed 2010 novel into a heartfelt coming of age drama. Teenager Charley (Charlie Plummer) escapes a hard knock life with his deadbeat father, finding work and a newfound sense of family with grizzled horse trainer Del (Steve Buscemi) and weary jockey Bonnie (Chloë Sevigny). When Lean on Pete, his favourite chestnut gelding is threatened with slaughter, Charley absconds with him and heads east, enduring the lonely heartbreak of his flight through the rugged beauty of the American heartland.
