The basic theme/synopsis of this movie interested me so I decided to watch it, but other than that I had low expectations based, unfortunately, on the low 4.5 IMDb score it received. I was pleasantly surprised. The movie pushed me throughout to try to understand what was going on. But unlike other films that never actually come together or deliver a punch, this film ties everything together in an interesting, unique way. The acting was engaging and the chemistry between the two leads was believable. The film is genuinely quirky without it being forced like some films that seem to be quirky just for the sake of being quirky and/or "arthousy". There was just enough suspense, intrigue, humor, and sensuality/sexuality to drive this film from beginning to end. I can't say that this film is for everyone, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will probably watch it again -- something I don't usually say after watching most films.

rented this awhile ago-very ethereal movie, atmospheric, movie is dreamlike all through. If you appreciate these types of movies you will like this-even the title has that dreamlike feel.I'd have to see it again to give it a rating, but remember it as atmospheric, different and disturbing. A good movie for summery rainy day.

About a year and a half ago, I was browsing my favorite video stores drama section(ya know the kinds of stores who carry all low budget titles on their catalog listings), and I came across this film. I liked the description and it reminded me alot of Last Tango In Paris, so I tucked it under my arm with my other releases brought it home and watched the other three films first. It was around 2 am and I put this in....the first 5 minutes drew me in hook line and sinker: there is no sound just pleaseing mood music as a shroud of quick cuts display a beautiful woman lying in a pool of blood with images of her past playing out before the viewer...no smart perceptive dialogue, no state of panic...just beautiful images. The film then begins and it could all go downhill from here...but it does'nt..this woman is fully aware of the constant daily grind of life and the annoying people that inhabit it...so she gets up in her hospital gown, witnesses a dying old woman and then leaves town...no destination, no cause. What progresses then is basically alot of sex and insightful, yet not overly cocky insights into life, love, death, and isolation between a dim witted drifter whom she meets in an almost ghost town.The astonishing thing about this film is that it is perfectly aware of its characters problems, yet it doesnt bore us with the details....they meet, they do the most logical thing and have sex constantly in an abondoned house...they state their cuases...and then try to conform somewhat to the outside world by the films great ending. I love this person. She wants to be alone and she wants to be isolated. Combined with stunning imagery and camera work...even if u mute the sound..u still feel the isolation and quiet moodiness of the film..compared to Last Tango..this film is much better.Tango is loud it is repellent unsenseibly..this film is bright, evocative and mildly entertaining...it shouldnt be entertaining however.If only more films like this could be made....better yet..no..this is a one of a kind...maybe only meant for the people who find it wipe the dust off of it and give it a try. I watch it every once in a while...when the wind is blowing and im alone.

This film is absolutely the best. It takes a woman that has almost committed suicide and a man coming from nowhere and going to nowhere, to meet in a bar in the middle of the desert, and strip their lives bare. Both have been living with illusions in the plastic world created in this country and in a few days find each other in a way most people do not reach in a lifetime...with a perfect ending.There is much nudity and honest (some call foul) language.
