The Wolfpack:
What if all you knew about the outside world was learnt from the movies? Filmmaker Crystal Moselle provides an answer to this question with her astonishing documentary about six home-schooled teenage brothers who have rarely been let outside. Exposed to films including Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight and The Fighter, the brothers meticulously recreated the films within the confines of their small New York apartment, copying down screenplays, casting themselves in each role and shooting the results. When one brother walks out of the front door, reel life becomes shockingly real.
