Two old friends reunite to spend a weekend together in the mountains of Oregon. During the journey to some hot springs, they see how time has diminished their former complicity. Yo La Tengo plays the soundtrack to Reichardt’s first collaboration with Jonathan Raymond, her regular screenwriter. Old Joy brought the filmmaker the first international awards and it was the first American film to receive the top award at the Rotterdam Film Festival.
