Named after the announcement of the South’s surrender to the Union, General Orders No. 9 looks like it could be a very interesting film…
The stunning culmination of over eleven years’ work from first time writer-director Robert Persons, General Orders No. 9 marries experimental filmmaking with an accessible, naturalist sensibility to tell the epic story of the clash between nature and man’s progress, and reaches a bittersweet reconciliation all its own.
Movies like this don’t usually play in Atalanta, but this might because of the local connections. Like the visuals.
