Devil`s Playground (VHS) |
|
| |
| Lucy Walker`s DEVIL`S PLAYGROUND documents the Amish rite of passage known as Rumspringa, during which a young Amish person leaves the community to experience the English World or Devil`s Playground before they decide whether or not to join the Amish church. Walker pays particular attention to Faron, a young man who seems particularly adept at navigating the seamier side of the English World as he begins using drugs and acquires a girlfriend, even though he intends to return to the Amish community. Thoughtful and provocative without being exploitative, DEVIL`S PLAYGROUND manages to be both touching and shocking as it explores the volatility of adolescence and religious faith. |
