Barking Water Series: New Directors/New Films 2009 Director: Sterlin Harjo, Country: USA, Release: 2009, Runtime: 85 In the filmlinc blog, Matt Griffin writes that "This film, like the couple at its center, like all roadtrips, finds great moments along the routes of local two-lane highways." Read the whole review>> Native American filmmaker Sterlin Harjo traces the impromptu journey taken by weathered, handsome couple Frankie and Irene as they visit the stations of their fractured relationship. Though their history has been frequently interrupted, they mean everything to one another, and this wise second feature affectionately travels Oklahoma’s roads, stopping now and then to reveal itself as one of American cinema’s most moving love stories—adult and unsentimental—to have appeared in a long time. Harjo, with his absorbing shooting rhythms, keen eye for landscape and drama, and two remarkable stars, Richard Ray Whitman and Casey Camp-Horinek, reinvigorates the notion of a road movie, investing the genre with emotion both plangent and deep.
