Diggers -well made small budget movie about the Baymen of the 1970s on Long Island.Good ensemble cast featuring Paul Rudd and Maura Tierney as a brother and sister dealing with the passing of their father.A compelling mixture of comedy and drama-we follow 4 diggers as they deal with the encroachment of a clamdigging corporation and family troubles.Ron Eldard,Lauren Amrose,Sarah Paulson & Ken Marino round out the cast.
The DVD has an hour long documentary on the Baymen,a 30 minute featurette on the movie and a commentary track by the writer and director.Authentic feel and a sharp dialogue make this a good snapshot of the 70s and the world of the clamdiggers.Worth a rental. B
