约瑟夫是一名机场安检员,生活看似平淡无奇,然而,日常的工作枯燥乏味,安检传送带也持续输送着来自乘客和同事的疏离与不安。在一次不愉快的家庭聚会后,一个新的不羁的灵魂开始侵蚀原来的他,新的约瑟夫行事不计后果,时刻处在情感爆发、自我毁灭的边缘。这不仅是主人公一场拼命挣扎的自我发现,也是社会中形形色色普通人的生活写照。影片以手持摄影的形式拍摄,富于压迫感的镜头使人轻易代入人物混乱的内心。本·卫肖的表演极具冲击力。
Lesbian prop-master Casey (Cam Killion) is abandoned by her girlfriend after a fight at a run-down motel, at the height of COVID-19 lockdowns in California. What’s worse, her girlfriend has taken not only her car, but her dog as well. She teams up with unemployed actor Alan (Joohun Lee) on a road trip to an audition in Canada. Casey is bitterly cynical while Alan is blindingly optimistic, which makes for a hilarious odd-couple road movie. Featuring beautifully shot landscapes, Laramie Dennis’s laidback debut feature film draws on, and queers, the work of Sam Shepard, and will delight fans of offbeat indie comedies à la the ‘90s works of Hal Hartley and Alison Anders.
