本片是《天堂的孩子》导演马吉德·马吉迪的处女作。原名《巴都客》,指的是伊朗东南部邻近巴基斯坦边界的一批走私客。这批可怜人有老有少,每天顶着烈日风沙和被军警追捕的危险,像野狗般在荒凉的沙漠上流窜。十岁出头的男孩佳发,正是其中的一位可怜人。佳发因为父亲挖井暴毙,跟妹妹佳玛在流浪途中被人口贩子诱骗。佳发被卖给走私贩阿布多拉,佳玛则卖给阿拉伯人。在佳发的小小心灵中,一直念念不忘的心愿是将佳玛找到兄妹团圆。为了达到心愿,佳发过了一段典型的苦儿流浪记生活。
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.
