NOW SHOWING WORLDWIDE
The most imaginative and visionary recent addition to the [Western] genre — The New Yorker
If Samuel Beckett, Jean-Luc Godard, and the Zucker Brothers collaborated on a feature, perhaps it would be Two Plains — No Film School
Set in remote Colorado in 1893, Two Plains & a Fancy follows 3 tourists looking for the perfect geothermal hot spring spa (and finding only ruins). Over three nights and four days, the tourists trek deeper and deeper into the plains, deserts and mountains. The tourists have encounters with purported time travellers, underemployed cowboys, a native teen, and ghost whores. Shot in sunburnt 16mm, Two Plains & a Fancy offers a wryly funny vision of the Old West that is at once harsh and mellow.
