David is scouting locations for a film shoot; Katia is his girlfriend and a willing travel companion. Together they journey through the barren landscapes of Twentynine Palms, fighting, making love, arguing, and making up. Yet there is a darkness following them, an ever-present danger that is waiting to catch up with them… even in the middle of nowhere. (Fractured Visions)

The energy of this slow-moving film is given by the nuances of the central couple’s relationship. The seemingly dull plot consisting in their simply spending time together on a trip to the Californian outback is loaded with spontaneity and authenticity, open and even graphic intimacy and tense quarrels, abounding with love and hate, shot live as if we were there with them. In an epic widescreen picture, but emotionally barren with no supporting music. Throughout the film, we wait to see if there will be some kind of twist, dramatization, a point. And Bruno Dumont duly defies us and our expectations. A hell of a festival flick.
