‘Sasquatch Sunset’ Review: The Zellner Brothers’ Warm, Eccentric Comedy Spills The Beans On The Elusive Bigfoot – Sundance Film Festival
Anyone with more than a passing interest in the weird and wonderful will have seen, if not heard of, the Patterson-Gimlin footage, the cryptoozological equivalent of the Zapruder film. Shot in 1967…
If, like David and Nathan Zellner, you have ever pondered the quotidian life of the Sasquatch, AKA Bigfoot, then this is the movie for you, an at-times silly comedy that somehow reels you into its strange, hypnotic world. But somehow the Zellners pull it off, taking a premise that could so easily have become Trash Humpers in the Woods and delivering instead a warm and thoughtful study of nature and its hierarchies, of which we presume to be at the top. The first clue is some fallen timber, spray-painted with a red X, the second is a man-made road, which prompts a very funny triple-take (a clear nod to mime artist Marcel Marceau, whose work was apparently a major touchstone during rehearsals).
