Hesher exited Sundance earlier this year with a fair amount of buzz — some good, some not so good. Regardless, the film’s star Joseph Gordon-Levitt (a FlickSided fave) continues to pick disparate projects and display excellent range well beyond his 29 years. Mysterious Skin, Brick, (500) Days of Summer and Inception are evidence JGL is capable of nailing four different characters in four different types of movies.

Looks like we can add Hesher to the list as well. In it he plays the titular role, a chain-smoking anarchist who mentors a young lad through a personal tragedy. Natalie Portman co-stars as a Plain Jane cashier named Nicole who tries to steer the boy away from Hesher’s bad influence. In the following clip, Hesher helps Nicole navigate a fender-bender while showing off the giant middle finger tat on his back. The flick is supposed to hit theaters this year, but no release date has been set.
