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.
河畔的绿茵丛中静静伫立着一张长椅。某个黄昏时分,这对久别重逢的青梅竹马在狭小的座椅上并肩而坐。他们交换着欲言又止却饱含温情的话语,细碎的话语间流淌着难以言明的微妙情愫。 这张承载着故事的长椅见证着人间百态:谈分手的情侣遭遇醉汉搅局,离家出走的姐姐与追寻而来的妹妹在此相逢,市政厅职员正谋划着拆除这座承载记忆的公共设施。 本片以一张长椅为原点,用多线交织的长篇叙事捕捉当代都市人稍纵即逝的生命片段,在方寸之间勾勒出浮世众生的情感光谱。
