The Triplex Cinema announces BUCK opening July 1, 2011
Great Barrington, Mass. June 23, 2011 - The Triplex Cinema announced today that it will be showing the inspiring documentary film, BUCK, which opens on Friday, July 1, 2011BUCK is a story about the power of non-violence, as master horse trainer Buck Brannaman uses the principles of life, respect and trust to tame horses and inspire their human counterparts. “The Horse Whisperer” may be the stuff of Hollywood legend, but the charismatic horseman who inspired the novel and the film is very real. For Buck Brannaman – a true cowboy who is also part guru and part philosopher – horses are a mirror of the human soul. BUCK, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his unusual approach to horse-training. Eschewing the violence of his past, he teaches people to communicate with horses through instinct, not punishment. He possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses – and people – with his understanding, compassion and respect. In the film, the animal-human relationship becomes a perfect metaphor for meeting the challenges of daily life. A truly American story about an unsung hero: an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.
BUCK, which won the Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, was the opening night film at The Beacon Cinema, Pittsfield, Mass. and the closing night film at the Mahaiwe Theater, Great Barrington, Mass. for the 6th Annual Berkshire International Film Festival and was widely received by horse enthusiast and lay person alike.
"We have always planned on bringing Buck to The Triplex Cinema, we are happy to bring this entertaining and inspiring film to those who were unable to see it during the festival,” said John Valente, General Manager for The Triplex Cinema and The Beacon Cinema.
