Plot
I watched this movie few days ago, a friend who watched it before bought it for me, but he couldn't find any comparison with any other title, he simply told me I had to watch it. It took me a few days to make up my mind but this movie hunted me in a very singular way and truly enough there is no other title i can compare it with. It is an intimate adventure of a silent couple, a journey that reveals to them an undiscovered landscape. The American territory that I well know is suddenly unknown to me and mysterious, populated by a sense of imminent peril or uneasy calm. It is not a road movie, none of the usual cliché are present in this unusual and bizarre film, and perhaps Western could be, in a very open minded way the best choice since the movie has its violent moments and brutal depiction of a dusty land. In a way it reminded me of the Asian cinema, of the surrealism of Tsai Ming Yang with his silent character entangled in unique relationships, intense and visually stunning. The couple, like the landscape itself, is a mysterious entity and the perception of the land mirrors their interaction until the very last scene where the two characters try to resolve themselves. The two directors/actors gave us a brave film, a new wave of possibility to interact with a cliché-abused territory like the American one. The music by Martha Braun is again, like the movie, an open wave of cycling repetitions. It is truly enough not a movie for everyone but for the few lucky ones who are passionate about new territories and new languages.
