Chloé Zhao
The Rider - Neo Western
Deeply personal and poetic drama about a rodeo rider coming to terms with life after injury.

After a near-fatal rodeo accident, Brady Jandreau, a young cowboy, must come to terms with the loss of his ability to ride and his identity as a rodeo star. Struggling with both physical and emotional scars, he tries to find a new purpose in life while grappling with the harsh realities of his world. The film is a quiet meditation on masculinity, identity, and the bond between man and animal, set against the wide-open plains of South Dakota.
