Director Derek Cianfrance on a pivotal scene from THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES. Derek Cianfrance’s THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES is a sweeping emotional drama powerfully exploring the unbreakable bond between fathers and sons. Luke (Ryan Gosling), a high-wire motorcycle stunt performer, learns, while passing through Schenectady, New York that his former lover, Romina (Eva Mendes), has given birth to their son Jason in his absence. Wanting to provide for his unexpected family, Luke uses his motorcycle skills to rob banks, an act that puts him squarely in the path of ambitious rookie cop Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper). From that first meeting, the crimes of the fathers are inherited by their sons in unexpected ways. Also starring Ray Liotta, Rose Byrne, Dane DeHaan, Ben Mendelsohn and Emory Cohen.
