Synopsis

Kate, a depressed thirty-something who unsuccessfully attempts suicide by slitting her wrists. Reflecting briefly upon her circumstance in the hospital, she realizes that nothing has been solved, whereupon she vacates the premises, wearing nothing but a hospital gown, a black coat, and flimsy sandals. Shortly thereafter, at a bus station, she requests from the attendant a bus ticket to wherever, with consideration to the limited funds she has to spare. The attendant insists on a destination, or even a direction - Kate spins about, points, and says, "that way". The story then evolves to include Barry Tubb, her love interest, who rekindles her will to live.

srhite Something about this movie has always haunted me. Kelly Lynch is suicidal for one reason and that is that she has to deal with the realit of her life. The other guy just can't face reality. It isn't about sex, it's about despair and dealing with one's life. Each character is running from his own reality. It's something most of us deal with every single day of our lives.It isn't a film for the masses, or maybe that is what all the nudity and sex was for! There were a couple memorable lines. One was something about Kelly Lynch explaining that she is only a secretary. The other was when Kelly Lynch is told that the crime was stealing a car and not murder.
pshelton This film is absolutely the best. It takes a woman that has almost committed suicide and a man coming from nowhere and going to nowhere, to meet in a bar in the middle of the desert, and strip their lives bare. Both have been living with illusions in the plastic world created in this country and in a few days find each other in a way most people do not reach in a lifetime...with a perfect ending.There is much nudity and honest (some call foul) language.
nz man If you are a film buff, and do not mind a different style of film, this is worthwhile. It does not leave you with such a great feeling, but overall it is done very well. Psychological, even philosophical; thought-provoking.Sometimes it is refreshing to see a film venture away from the usual 'Hollywood formula'.
BrianCDavis I disagree that this movie is strictly a gratuitous sex film. I think it has a lot in common with American Beauty, in that it addresses how we choose to live our lives. In this case, they choose to have sex a lot, but that is not the point. The point is to deny the typical societal roles, and to live life however you want. The film has a lot of funny scenes, good dialogue, and a lot of David Lynch-style bizarre characters. Next to American Beauty, it is one of my favorite films. It is definitely a low-budget, intellectual, art-film, but worth watching if you enjoy intelligent filmmaking with a bit of humor.
