Thom says: “This is an unusual film of power, rage, and grace. It’s an apocalyptic vision of a bleak & deserted world. A couple is wandering through a dreary landscape ostensibly looking for a way to a river that if they cross they can enter a better world. They pick other people up along the way that might represent a certain element of the remaining populace. The villains are mysterious and are only characterized by cars whizzing by on a lonely highway. There’s a lot of Samuel Beckett in the screenplay with no answers forthcoming, only a strange despair. 5 cats ”
