Synopsis:

The unforgettable and hypnotic sound track by Ry Cooder plays beneath a relentless sun and something starts to move inside us. Winner of the Palm d’Or in 1984, this is nevertheless a timeless masterpiece. A deep journey into wounded hearts and life's uncertainties. Both Sam Shepard´s script and Robby Müller’s cinematography are extraordinary. A powerful interaction between the visual excess of the flashy neon colours and the emptiness of the desert. The characters are equally divided between two places: where they are and where they want to be. A beautiful and elegant film that unfolds patiently, in a sad and sensual tone, full of sober dialogues. It is a restored version, not to be missed.
