Four Corners
1998, NR, 77 min. Directed by James Benning.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Aug. 26, 1999
Benning's ninth feature begins in the famous tourist spot where New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah meet, but then jumps off into the American desert to become a meditation on landscape, history, and painting. The Chicago Reader describes it as sharing the "all-encompassing ambition of Walt Whitman, Thomas Wolfe, and Jack Kerouac." For more info call the AFS at 322-0145.
