The film's official synopsis courtesy of the SXSW website:
What was intended to be a romantic weekend between two lovers at a country house turns into an awkward family reckoning when the young man’s estranged father unexpectedly shows up with his new girlfriend. As their collisions mount, the weekend transforms into a turning point for all. IN OUR NATURE explores two couples on the verge of major life decisions and the fragments of a modern broken family.

Watch a sneak peek of History channel's highly anticipated scriptedmini-series HATFIELDS & MCCOYS starring Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton, Jena Malone, TomBerenger, Powers Boothe and Mare Winningham.
Hatfields & McCoys chronicle of one of the most infamous family rivalries in American history. Kevin Costner plays “Devil” Anse Hatfield and Bill Paxton plays Randall McCoy in the three-part miniseries, which premieres on Memorial Day (May 28th).
The trailer looks pretty good along with the song/music that fits with the random clips used and Jena Malone (she plays Nancy McCoy) looked pretty kick-ass with her serious stare in the few seconds she appeared in the trailer, lol. Can't wait to see this!
Watch the sneak peek trailer via History Channel’s official website or below (with a few screen captures of JM and a synopsis too)...
Here’s a synopsis for the Hatfield/McCoy conflict (via Collider):
The Hatfield-McCoy saga begins with Devil Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy. Close friends and comrades during the Civil War, they returned to their neighboring homes — Hatfield in West Virginia, McCoy just across the Tug River border in Kentucky — to increasing tensions, misunderstandings and resentments that soon exploded into all-out warfare between the two families. As hostilities grew, friends, neighbors and outside forces joined the fight, bringing the two states to the brink of another Civil War.
Their story also includes: a tempestuous love affair between Hatfield’s son and McCoy’s daughter, which had disastrous consequences; the execution of McCoy’s three young sons in retaliation for the Rasputin-like murder of Hatfield’s beloved brother; a New Year’s Massacre of the McCoy clan and burning of their home, which also sparked international headlines; a public clash between state governors; and ultimately the involvement of the United States Supreme Court.
According to Movie Hole, Jena Malone will star in a new film titled, Mu, which is currently in development.

To celebrate its 6th year anniversary (US November wide release) of this unforgettable and amazing film here at the P&P Blog, I thought I'd make this post (again for the 3rd time, but edited for the US wide release anniversary) all about it here today, as this is worth reposting here (multiple times) to look back on this amazing and brilliant film and its continued successes, 6 years later and for many years to come.
Also, I am reposting here all the P&P related links(I have posted previously since I started blogging about P&P movie over 3 years ago...) for you to check out (if you haven't already done so).
When Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) meets the handsome Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), she believes he is the last man on earth she could marry. But as their lives become intertwined in an unexpected adventure, she finds herself captivated by the very person she swore to loathe for all eternity. Based on the beloved masterpiece by Jane Austen, it is the classic tale of love and misunderstanding that sparkles with romance, wit and emotional force. Critics are calling it "Exhilarating. A joy from start to finish." (Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times)
