yes and read the review be much more rewarding . by any measure . this review contain spoiler . read further anyway . it doesn not matter and even when youre intend to see the movie . the film begin with two people in a suv and david and katia and driving to the joshua tree desert . despite all their misunderstanding and they feel attract to each other and but regularly explode in quarrel and fight . that part of the film be logical and understandable . the film be a study in how relationship can go haywire . one can have look at what they talk . or you could listen to the silence when they should talk . in your mind and you could even speak up for them when they fail . but why do they cut away the entire character development . really and i could not care less about david and katia . what they say and how they behave be in the end meaningless . in contrast and i rather enjoy their nude body and their physical exercise and the wonderful landscape of the joshua tree desert . wow . the film end with three hillbilly tailgate them on a desert road and stop them and pull them from the car and and rap david . why and why do this happen . out from the nothing and the film end with a sudden conclusion and and you will never get to know why they be target . it have be say that bruno dumont and the director of this film and translate a life negate state of mind into a film . david and katia be already outcast in the beginning he speak only english and french and katia only russian and french and they be reject by the desert and a place where you have to rely on your fellow human being in order to survive . twentynine palm be an ill fat parable . i do not say bruno dumont be a bad filmmaker . but a a filmmaker and he forget to counterbalance the philosophical and psychological and the tardiness part with a credible and suspenseful story .
