Two young men named Gerry set out on a desert hike, but when they stray from the path they soon realise that they are lost; and without food or water they begin to search for a way out, in Van Sant’s gently droll and beautifully shot minimalist drama – an allegorical, existential masterwork, which owes a debt to Tarr, Tarkovsky, and Becket.
