Sasquatch Sunset
A pair of crude giants walks out of the pages of a fairy tale into a forest. They do their walking, eating, and making themselves a home and then they do it again. In order to interact with one another, the group makes together a strange symphony of grunts, shouts, and whoops, but those are not in the audience’s interest. Viewers gradually come to comprehend how the Sasquatch gurgles sound, look and move. In the film “Sasquatch Sunset”, the viewers witness the sasquatch’s tale of endurance in a beautifully captivating fashion, the story revolves and focuses on four sasquatches and their connection and interaction with the nature. One probably expects David and Nathan Zellner to film in a different world, in a different era or behind the wall in some distant galaxy surprisingly close to where we live nowadays. This is quite the present. What a negligent abhorrence, such disregard towards how we protect nature or the secrets that are concealed inside it, but what can a person or one family achieve?
Fortunately, there’s no pretty boy narration that turns the Sasquatches into cartoon characters, like it is often done in a nature documentary. A detailed description of the film comes down to Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac Denek, and Nathan Zellner in fur suits. They bombard the screen masked under layers and layers of costumes and prosthetics that they use to embody the characters they created.
Zellner’s creature is an older outcast who appears bitter about his younger companions who are much more cheerful. Zajac Denek’s beast seems to be the youngest of them all, a naive, inquisitive toddler who sometimes strays a little too close to the fire. Thankfully, Keough’s matriarchal figure often comes to the rescue too, and she looks forward to their well being along with the addition of their new member. Eisenberg, the father of the family, is not gruff like the sasquatches of Keough and Zellner, is very playful, and this quality is second only to that of Zajac Denek’s active creature.
As attractive as it may sound, the legendary bipedal inhabitants are faced with real dangers, and the viciousness of the forest does not take long to surface. Panthers, poisons, and general mortality threaten them just as much as they threaten us. Sooner or later, the sasquatches’ wandering takes them to a place where they see people; this can be startled to learn of their presence, resulting in primal ape-style anger. One thing that natural history films seem to avoid is something that the Zellners use as a source of humor, which is showing the animal copulating, scratching and sniffing itself, and marking its displeasure by urinating and defecating.
The Zellners may have made significant contributions to the preservation of sasquatch bodily fluids on film than anyone else, but that might not be everyone’s cup of tea when it comes to the cinema.
In “Sasquatch Sunset,” there is not a solitary line or word of speech, which allows our imagination to follow these large-footed beings in their natural habitat, appreciate the trees dancing to the wind in the first light of dawn, see clouds drifting across the mountain range, discover other animals dwelling in the woods, listen to some of the most captivating sounds and music synthesizer created by the band The Octopus Project who is from Austin and provided the soundtrack for this scary but amusing ride.
The stunning stills of the sun and other natural elements shot by Mike Gioulakis look like a lazy attempt at an advertisement for a holiday destination, yet the creators of the film appear to be asking for people to stay away from these places. David Zellner, who wrote the movie did a good job of removing any need for human pupils from the sasquatch family but we do encroach on their territory and vice versa. For many of us, their tale may sound absurd to even fathom how life would be like with just fresh berries and fish guts as a meal, but at its very essence, the struggle for survival, for love, and for protection of one’s own carries the same weight as universal themes.
Wow! The movie starts gloriously with fuzzy costumes that say a lot and say nothing through out the runtime.
But there is a considerably large degree of. Ben’s sixth form mate Bontage and some of the more satirical aspects of the story are begging to fall apart far too quickly for one to sustain a contemplative disposition. It was through a second viewing that I sort of knew of the people who made the film what Zellners did, yet for others, that may not be enough to overlook some of the films weirder notes. Sasquatch Sunset is one of the ambitious movies you will ever watch that seem to blur the lines between aesthetics and aesthetics to evoke the audience’s yearning for aestheticism with the aid of four performers dressed in seemingly heavy costumes. Nonetheless, this is not a story that is intended to be taken seriously, but there is something about this bigfoot sighting that may tempt you.
