Yet another delightful find of S's recently was Find Me. It was an odd movie, but unusual -- which is enough to get attention in these days of remakes and sequels.
The main character is Joe, a recently-divorced accountant whose work friend Amelia goes mysteriously missing. Amelia had previously tried to convince Joe that he needed to break out of his box, explore the world, and enjoy nature. She failed in her attempts until she mysteriously disappeared, leaving breadcrumbs Joe to find her.
What follows is a love letter to the western landscape -- slot canyons, rich forests, sweeping landscapes.
Also, the soundtrack! Many of the tracks initially seemed like odd choices, but turned out to be perfect! Whomever was responsible for those choices deserves a raise.
Bottom line: loved the different narrative, loved the homage to the land, and loved the music!
On the list!
