Jayne Mansfield's Car

Billy Bob Thornton returns to the director's chair, also co-writing and starring in this period drama set in 1969 Alabama. Thornton plays one of three sons to Robert Duvall, whose quirky obsession with car accidents is interrupted by the death of his ex-wife, who had been living in England. Cultures clash when her British relatives arrive for the funeral, with conflicts erupting between Duvall and sons Thornton, Kevin Bacon, and Robert Patrick. Eccentric outing co-stars John Hurt, Shawnee Smith. 121 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish.
