WOW! How have you seen this film? It's
obscure as hell. It has like 24 ratings on imdb! In my case, a friend reccomended it to me on a torrent site, I downloaded it without thinking much of it, figuring it'd be decent and it ended up completely hooking me and just blowing me the fuck away. There were so many startling parts in the film, especially the looooooooooooooong discussion between the main character and the woman he meets in the train -- bathed in the red light -- and then the train starts back up right after she tells him her desires. Scenes like that just blew me the fuck away. The film really really reminded me of many of Jon Jost's works, and maybe some of Wim Wender's films, in the pacing and scenery. Definitely undeservedly obscure and forgotten.
Watched 2 films from the director of COMBAT SHOCK
no way home and life is hot in cracktown. Both were 7/10's. They definitely both had that combat shock ish vibe, though obviously way cleaner and more straightforward and a bit less interesting. He's still an extremely intelligent and interesting director, sad he'd only made 3 films in like 26 years or whatever.
