Synopsis
"Drugs, murder and brotherly love."
LEAVES OF GRASS is a comic thriller seen through the dual
perspectives of identical twins Bill and Brady Kincaid (both played
by Edward Norton). Bill, a classical philosophy professor at Brown
University, returns home upon news of his brother Brady’s murder
when a drug deal gone awry. Bill soon discovers that Brady’s death
has been grossly exaggerated, as he’s swept up into one of his
brother’s crazy schemes.
Alongside his eccentric mother (Susan Sarandon) and a beautiful
woman named Janet (Keri Russell), Bill participates in his
brother’s wild plan, leading him on a twisted path filled with
unique characters and life’s most challenging questions.
From writer/director Tim Blake Nelson, LEAVES OF GRASS merges crime
drama, drug comedy and classical philosophy, as it attempts to
answer one of the oldest questions in the world: What does it truly
mean to be happy?
