SummaryA strange tale about male friendship and change
Review
Obviously well photographed and directed 'tis a slender and unlikely tale but oddly compelling. Touching and exploring several deep questions - am I a dull fellow, what is a friend, what is the meaning of our endless numbered days with all of the civilised baggage stripped away by the limitations of the environment in which the characters operate - pertpetual sunset, minimal social contact - there is something of the Samuel Beckett about it.
