This is a gem of a movie with great casting and talented acting. Living in Northern California this movie might have been more germane to me and therefore of greater personal interest. There is some nice touches in the movie-the best was when Peter stumbles out of the car to find Bogart. Finding her on a promontory he joins her to observe a sublime and beautiful panorama and the sun not too far from setting. "Is this Malibu?" Very, very, very nice. I believe this was shot just north of Trinidad, CA.
My take on the movie was that the marijuana farming was incidental to the story-It was the story of family, a seduced stray that wanders in, and Peter's realization that there is more to life than what has been preordained by his overarching father. It could have been a story about ranchers, fisher folk etc. 'Sometimes a Great Notion' written by K. Kesey and directed by P. Newman comes to mind.
The musical soundtrack was subtle but complemented the movie like a decent bottle of white complements some plugged Dungeness crab, both North Coast treats ;).
