Indie creatures to the core, David and Nathan Zellner cut their own path through the wild
A family makes their way through a woodland forest, eventually stopping to set up camp. They have something to eat, go to sleep and then get up to do it all over again.
Except this isn't a family on a wilderness getaway. It's a group of shaggy, mythical creatures known as Sasquatch, going about their day-to-day existence. The film "Sasquatch Sunset," is unexpectedly heartfelt and moving (even as it's also quite funny) in its exploration of the dynamics of their lives as they defecate, lactate, fornicate, urinate, procreate, masticate and generally make their way through the world.
The latest creation from filmmaking brothers Nathan and David Zellner, "Sasquatch Sunset" feels like an extension of their ongoing off-beat explorations of behavior amid the natural world. Having first emerged as prolific makers of short films, their features now include 2014's "Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter," starring Rinko Kikuchi, and the 2018 Western comedy "Damsel," starring Mia Wasikowska and Robert Pattinson. They also recently directed episodes of the television series "The Curse," starring Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie and Emma Stone.
