Based on the true story of Chris McCandless, a.k.a. Alexander Supertramp, who, in the early ‘90s, travelled into the wild in order to escape from society and/or his parents, Sean Penn’s impressive film is an excellently acted and beautifully made exploration of the dangers of both living as part of, and not living as part of, a society.
