Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Phillip Roth novel, AMERICAN PASTORAL follows a family whose seemingly idyllic existence is shattered by the social and political turmoil of the 1960s. Ewan McGregor makes his directorial debut and stars as Seymour ?Swede? Levov, a once legendary high school athlete who is now a successful businessman married to Dawn, a former beauty queen. But turmoil brews beneath the polished veneer of Swede?s life. When his beloved teenage daughter, Merry, disappears after being accused of committing a violent act, Swede dedicates himself to finding her and reuniting his family. What he discovers shakes him to the core, forcing him to look beneath the surface and confront the chaos that is shaping the world around him. AMERICAN PASTORAL also stars Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind?) as Dawn, Dakota Fanning as Merry, Emmy winner Uzo Aduba, and Academy Award nominee David Strathairn.

Not what I expected, looks pretty interesting story wise and reminds me a lot of Traffic, the Michael Douglas movie where he has to come up against the narcotics world due to his daughter.

Could be some interesting parallels to todays times, where moderate Muslim families have to deal with radicalized terrorist sons.

How many artists have covered "Mad World"? I feel like it might be the most covered song of all time.
