Grand Theft Parsons
2003
88 Min
Phil Kaufman (Johnny Knoxville, star of television’s “Jackass”), road manager for music legend Gram Parsons, steals his friend’s body after his death and, with the help of hearse owner Larry (Michael Shannon), drives it to Joshua Tree National Park. Living up to a pact they had made two months earlier, Phil gives Parsons the last rites he’d requested — a cremation in his beloved desert. Marley Shelton and Christina Applegate also star.
