Twentynine Palms

[GonzoCircus]

I saw Twentynine Palms last night. This is not to be confused with 29 Palms; this movie is by french director Bruno Dumont.

Anyways, it is a very unsettling film and am wondering if anyone else has seen it and what they have to say about it.

 

[GonzoCircus]

well, you should see it

 

[Brutuskend]

So it's NOT about the Marine Base then?

 

[jtusa]

Just let it die...

David, an independent photographer, and Katia, an unemployed woman, leave L.A. to reach for the desert searching a natural set for a magazine photoshoot. They find a motel at 29 Palms and spend their days on their 4 wheelers, discovering the Joshua Tree Desert, losing themselves on nameless roads and trails. Frantically making love all the time and most everywhere, they regularly fight, then kiss and make up according to the petty events of this quite ordinary daily life. Until something horrible and hideous brutally puts an end to their trip.

I dont do foreign films.

except for the desert, 4 wheelers and josua trees. the last part of the description is pretty much what every foreign film is about.

fight, kiss, screw, makeup, fight, kiss, screw, makeup...... then one of the dies and its over and the credits start rolling.

 

[ChinamanatNCSU]

google is your friend Read through that page for the spoiler

and that ending sounds horrible...

 

[Ranger X]

Then, in the riveting conclusion, they are run off the road by two men, who strip her, then anally rape him. Later, at the motel, she goes out for pizza. When she returns, he stabs her to death, then crawls naked into the desert to die.

Got it also from the same website I found via Google.

 

[amoeba]

Sounds like another stupid pseudo intellectual film.
