A new film depicting the daily life of a family of Bigfoots has hit theaters, and it's sure to be a unique cinematic experience. The film, titled "Sasquatch Sunset," is a slow-moving portrait of a Bigfoot tribe reacting to the encroaching modern world. With no dialogue, the film tracks the hairy subjects as they traverse the forests of the Pacific Northwest, looking for food, shelter, and others of their kind. CBC News senior entertainment reporter Eli Glasner describes the film as "a year in the life of this furry family of humanoids" with "distinct personalities." Some are shy, while others are more outgoing, and the film captures their unique habits and sounds. The film's co-directors, David and Nathan Zellner, spent years developing the script and were thrilled when actors such as Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough signed on to play the roles of the Bigfoots. The actors spent a week at "ape camp" learning how to move and behave like the creatures. While the film is certainly unusual, Glasner notes that it is also "surprisingly moving and even at times tender." He gives the film four stars out of five, praising the actors' performances and the film's ability to make viewers become attached to the Bigfoot characters. If you're a Bigfoot believer, this film is definitely worth checking out. It offers a unique and intimate look at the daily life of these elusive creatures, and the lack of dialogue allows viewers to focus on their movements and behaviors. Who knows, you might even learn a thing or two about Bigfoot culture!
