Alluring film for the scenery and original music, full of homo-erotic suggestions that don't develop. Is our married protagonist ultimately unfulfilled with his very pregnant, seemingly resentful and hurt wife? Is his independent expressive friend reaching out to embrace him in a brotherly love that could be consummated in physical passion? The camera-work is brimming with repressed sensuality. The script is intentionally sparse and ultimately unfulfilling. It is redeemed by the lyrical greenery if you haven't had a camping trip in a long time. It is too bad that the substance of these two men's friendship and history is not more fully explored, as we have no idea what they experienced or shared together.
