Sumptuously shot mainly in black + white, Joshua Tree is in fact a very aptly named portrait of James Dean — one of the most beloved and enigmatic pop culture icons in history. Leading up to Dean’s breakthrough fame, Joshua Tree provides an enthralling, and often baffling, glimpse of the legend who entranced the world with his brooding demeanor and wild zest for life. This beautiful film, interspersed with poignant poetry and sharp insight, boldly addresses head on the controversial issue of Dean’s bisexuality. – Nancy Eaves
