Directed by Allison Anders (GAS, FOOD, LODGING), this serious, powerful film centers on a Florida-based musician, Sherry (Kim Dickens), whose hit song recounts the dark story of her childhood rape. Having distanced herself from that horrible experience, Sherry doesn't quite remember what actually took place. Therefore, when she is approached by a man from her past, Owen (Gabriel Mann)--a rock music reporter who wants to feature Sherry in his next article--she is unaware that he harbors a dark secret about what actually happened to her when she was a 12-year-old girl.

Reviews for Things Behind the Sun
Anders makes the point without belaboring it and without exploiting it for a turn-on.
This is a hard film to watch, and yet it adheres to a perspective important for both men and women to see.
