Moody Blues
Rather good, existential piece about two close friends lost in the desert. This severely tests their friendship to the point of complete physical and moral exhaustion.
The pair soon despairs of ever finding water, food and the civilization they thought they were only temporarily leaving behind in their hike from the stresses of modern life. They do not understand the natural world; having only seen it on tv and, once out of their car, quickly lose their way.
Shot in master takes, the film slowly builds to its inevitable climax; the improvised dialogue matching the sparseness of the visuals. Largely wordless, this is a hypnotic movie set amid the great natural beauty of the landscape that’s killing them; while communicating the pair’s growing estrangement. A very rewarding experience about friendship, fate and responsibility.
