Title: THE LONELIEST PLANET <\/p>\n

Sundance Selects<\/p>\n

Director: Julia Loktev<\/p>\n

Screenwriter: Julia Loktev, from Tom Bissell\u2019s short story \u201cExpensive Trips Nowhere\u201d from the collection God Lives in St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

Cast: Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal, Hani Furstenberg, Bidzina Gujabidze<\/p>\n

Screened at: Broadway, NYC, 10\/11\/12<\/p>\n

Opens: October 26, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you ask people who have come home from vacation, \u201cHow was your trip?\u201d what do you expect them to say? After all, they\u2019ve spent money, they\u2019ve spent time, they\u2019ve chosen a destination, and most of all they want to make you jealous. Did you ever hear a traveler say, \u201cWhat a waste of money!\u201d Of course not. This would make them seem like dorks. Yet vacations are not always the utopias that tourists make them out to be. When couples go away, they\u2019re together day and night, they don\u2019t usually wander off singly to separate destinations. This puts a lot of pressure on them, so much so that you may not be surprised at how many relationships actually go south after a trip north.<\/p>\n

In Russian-born director Julia Loktev\u2019s drama, \u201cThe Loneliest Planet,\u201d an engaged couple have put enormous pressure on themselves. They don\u2019t have a suite of rooms in a hotel to pursue separate activities. They don\u2019t have friends around them to take the heat off. They\u2019re backpackers traveling in a remote area of Georgia (that\u2019s the former Soviet \u201crepublic,\u201d not the American South), and they\u2019re just the two of them except for a local guide with a limited fluency in English. Anything untoward happens, they\u2019re kaput.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s really involving is that a coup de th\u00e9\u00e2tre takes place about two-thirds into the movie that could tear their lovey-dovey relationship apart. This sudden turn of events involves literally 1.5 seconds. In just that time\u2014blink and you\u2019ll miss it\u2014something sudden happens, perhaps instinctively, that could send their fantastic relationship to the cellar, and heaven help any critic or moviegoer who tells you what that is before you see the movie. By not knowing, you will be on edge waiting for the event, guessing what it might be. That\u2019s to the good.<\/p>\n

Looking at the whole picture, \u201cThe Loneliest Planet\u201d is a step in a similar direction by the director, whose \u201cDay Night Day Night\u201d finds a nineteen-year-old female would-be suicide bomber standing on the corner of Manhattan\u2019s 8th Avenue and 42nd street with a bomb in her backpack. When she pushes the button and the bomb fizzles, she is left with nothing. Her identity cards have been destroyed, her handlers have cut off contact with her. In much the same way, Alex (Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal) and his thirty-year-old fianc\u00e9 Nica (Hani Furstenberg) may have lost their most important attachment when this sudden event takes place. They may be left with nothing out in the glorious mountains of Georgia\u2019s Khevi region, continuing to hike with their guide Dato (Bidzina Gujabidze, who is an actual guide, having climbed Mount Everest twice).<\/p>\n

Well then, why is this film not worthy of a highly positive review? After all the filming by Chilean cinematographer Inti Briones is stunning, particularly since he and his Red camera and a small crew must hike up the mountains with the threesome, wait for just the right early-morning light lest everyone become blinded by the sun. The problem is that this film is not for the casual moviegoer, who might equate the tempo with watching paint dry\u2014the criticism often leveled at the works of French director Erich Rohmer. The actors are fine: Garc\u00eda Bernal takes a more passive role leaving Ms. Furstenberg to do most of the talking with the guide, but dialogue is minimalist. The Georgian language is totally without translation, so we in the audience have no idea what is going on especially when the trio meet a small group of other mountain climbers. Why is the young man in this other group talking so excitedly, pointing to the romantic couple a few feet away? Is he accusing them of being an enemy? And what\u2019s with the game that Alex plays with Nica, quizzing her on the conjugation of Spanish verbs, and what\u2019s with the silly song that Nica and Dato are singing?<\/p>\n

All this minimalism is designed to make the picture seem \u201carty,\u201d which of course it is. If you are the patient moviegoer, one willing to seek out original fare (though this film reminds me of Gus Van Sant\u2019s \u201cGerry, \u201cabout two guys who take off in the desert without water), give it a try. If you exclusively like the fast-talking wit and Tarantino-like violence of \u201cSeven Psychopaths,\u201d you might want to save your dough and put it toward a vacation in a five-star hotel in Paris, leaving the rugged countryside of a strange culture to paid actors.<\/p>\n
