Gerry

GERRY (2002) - Sept. 30, 2005
About a couple of friends who go hiking in the desert and get lost, this film has absolutely no plot and barely any dialogue. And yet it's oddly compelling. The whole thing is basically just Matt Damon and Casey Affleck walking in the desert. But it's really well directed and strangely hypnotic. While it doesn't have the emotional resonance of something like Elephant, it's still quite entertaining throughout despite how slow-paced it is. ***
