Married couple Hargreaves and Behets take a vacation in the woods to try to work out their marital problems but don't find the relaxation or resolution they were looking for. Nicely directed with a great sense of the oppressiveness of the outdoors. Nature is the villain in this well-filmed second feature by Australian director Eggleston. leave a comment
