In savvy fashion, though, this meditative film makes an unexpected statement.<\/p>\n<p>The movie unfolds in rural Texas in 1988, in the aftermath of what a simple insert card tells viewers was a devastating wildfire that destroyed more than 1,600 homes. Alvin (Rudd) and Lance (Hirsch) work by themselves as road-stripers, painting traffic lines on lonely stretches of highway that run through this burnt-out wasteland. Apart from occasional interactions with a gruff trucker (the late Lance LeGault) who passes through the area, they are virtually alone. Alvin is the foreman, a head-down, nose-to-the-grindstone kind of guy (&#8220;I have a lot of prescription medications&#8230; but I try not to use them&#8221;) and the younger Lance, the brother of his girlfriend, is a characteristically shortsighted loafer who just lives for the weekend, when he heads to the city and tries to get laid.<\/p>\n<p>Beautifully shot by frequent Green collaborator Tim Orr, &#8220;Prince Avalanche&#8221; doesn&#8217;t do much more than chart this duo&#8217;s bickering and uneasy d\u00e9tente, and yet it achieves a sort of mesmerizing hold, for the manner in which it assays notions of place versus home, and loneliness versus being alone. There&#8217;s an abstruse yet meaningful and even semi-poetic quality to the dialogue in many of Green&#8217;s indie efforts, like &#8220;All the Real Girls,&#8221; &#8220;Undertow&#8221; and especially his debut, &#8220;George Washington.&#8221; That quality is again quite on display in &#8220;Prince Avalanche,&#8221; married to evocative music by Explosions in the Sky and David Wingo.<\/p>\n<p>Rudd and especially Hirsch are great. Their characters (especially Lance) are air-quote dumb or foolish as a kind of distillation of the essence of oft-unarticulated male feeling and neediness, and the actors capture this with a piercing grace and honesty. Nowhere is this more evident than in an extended monologue of sexual frustration Lance delivers late in the film, relating his weekend to Alvin. It&#8217;s quietly hilarious in both its detail and pure haplessness, but it&#8217;s when the story is later revealed to have been at least partially misplaced in its emotion that &#8220;Prince Avalanche&#8221; really blooms. Everybody hurts &#8212; even men who may not yet be in the position or emotive state to fully realize it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical: B+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acting:
