Adapted from Eric Schlosser’s bestselling book, Fast Food Nation takes a daring approach, reworking the book as a fictional drama set in the featureless town of Cody, Colorado.

Three storylines are deftly woven together, Kinnear’s executive hunting shit in the meat while teenage Mickey’s cashier Amber (Ashley Johnson) gets radicalised and a group of illegal Mexican immigrants (led by Catalina Sandino Moreno from Maria Full Of Grace) start work at the town’s meat packing plant. With its ambling, episodic narrative and ensemble cast it’s already been described (by its director) as “the Nashville of meat” and, like Robert Altman’s country and western masterpiece, it’s about the troubled soul of the American nation.
