The Brown Bunny (2003)

Usually if I say something is a love it or hate it film there’s an unspoken allowance for some midway point between those two states, but with Brown Bunny I suspect it really will be love or hate.
It’s a slow-moving art house character study of a quiet man as he makes a road trip to California. Along the way he encounters desperate and damaged women. In his soul he yearns for something that he knows they can’t give him, but he’s unable to resist the initial stages of the attempt.
It was shot on 16mm and blown up to 32, giving it the look of something beautiful captured on unearthed cheap 1980s film stock.
