One Inside

This searing extraordinarily evocative narrative opens with a man in his house at dawn surrounded by aspens coyotes cackling in the distance as he quietly navigates the distance between present and past. As memory overtakes him he sees the bygone America of his childhood: the farmland and the feedlots the railyards and the diners--and most hauntingly his father's young girlfriend with whom he also became involved setting into motion a tragedy that has stayed with him. His complex interiority is filtered through views of mountains and deserts as he drives across the country propelled by Benzedrine rock and roll and a restlessness born out of exile. The rhythms of theater the language of poetry and a flinty humor combine in this stunning meditation on the nature of experience at once celebratory surreal poignant and unforgettable.
