Man and Woman in the Dunes

"Director Lech Majewski titles each scene with a Biblical word in his very surreal movie set in the California desert observing a couple whose marriage is disentigrating like a sand castle on a beach. Religious allegory abounds here-the creator is a strong black man, there is an obligatory crucifixion, etc.
Made in 1994, this is the sort of movie a serious fangirl might want to ferret out! Typical early Viggo choice-edgy, intelligent, witty script and other excellent actors. However, I bet it didn't get much of a run in the theatres and if Mr. Mortensen hadn't gone on to play Aargorn, I doubt it would have ever been released on DVD!"

"I got a different message from the movie than was advertised. It seemed to me that it was simply a stylized version of the meaningless life that many people live. I would have prefered that the sexal intercourse scene had not been included. We already had the message that all was not perfect in that area. If not for that, I would have shared it with my kids."
