Life As A House (2001)

Life As A House is a 2001 family drama about a dying architect who spends his final summer rebuilding a house and mending his fractured bond with his estranged teenage son. Jena Malone plays the girl next door, injecting a restless, unpredictable energy into a story that otherwise plays things somber and reflective. Her nude scene is the reason the film holds a spot here, with 1 scene on site capturing that early, raw side of her career. A slim collection, sure, but worth a look for anyone tracking Malone's filmography from the ground up.
