Review of Twentynine Palms (2003) by David B — 14 Sep 2008
Beautifully shot but ultimately boring film. I understand Dumont did not want a plot but there seems to be no character motivation especially with the truck full of men who rape one of the main characters. I suppose events like this happen this way in reality--just coming from nowhere for no reason. The violent ending really has no connection to anything. Why this film keeps being referred to as a "horror" film is beyond me.
As Hitchcock says, â??what is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut outâ?¦â?? This film is just the opposite. All the drama has been taken out and a bucket load of dull bit added.
If you want to see two people drive some, roam desert rocks some, screw some, drive some more and then screw some more go for it.
