Movie Haiku:A couple of denim-clad Beckett-types get lost somewhere in the Great American Desert. This film is deliberately pretentious & we entered the theatre prepared for the worst, then found ourselves seduced by the visual grandeur that plays as counterpoint to the offbeat poetry of the dialogue. A surreal, hypnotic experience.
