Our take

We love visions of countries made by visiting filmmakers. Swiss director Nicolas Steiner takes an unfamiliar look at American lives and landscapes in this ravishing quasi-documentary. With echoes of Zabriskie Point, an apocalyptic vision of weirdo America unfolds, rife with loneliness and beauty.
