    Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, The Believer is a daring and gripping portrayal of a young Jewish man living an impossible contradiction as a neo-Nazi. Inspired by real events, the film tells the story of Danny Balint (Ryan Gosling) and his struggle between destorying his own people and being drawn back to Judaism.

    Starring Ryan Gosling (MURDER BY NUMBERS, THE NOTEBOOK, HALF NELSON) in a critically acclaimed performance as Danny, a role that has been compared to Robert De Niro's portrayal of Travis Bickle in TAXI DRIVER. Also starring Billy Zane (TITANIC), Theresa Russell (KAFKA) and Summer Phoenix (THE LARAMIE PROJECT). Written and directed by Henry Bean (screenwriter, ENEMY OF THE STATE).


    Trailer is completely naff and not representative of the movie at all, but its the best I could do. Saw it there recently and it left a serious impression; thoughts?

    It's been an old favorite of mine for a long time now.
    Criminally underappreciated movie.

    In a lot of ways its like a low-budget American History X - a lot of the same themes and premises, even some similar characters, but I actually prefer this (bar the cast).
