David, an independent photographer, and Katia, an unemployed woman, leave Los Angeles, en route to the southern California desert, where they search a natural set to use as a backdrop for a magazine photo shoot. They find a motel in the town of Twentynine Palms and spend their days in their sport-utility vehicle, discovering the Joshua Tree Desert, and losing themselves on nameless roads and trails. Frantically making love all the time and almost everywhere, they regularly fight, then kiss and make up, with little else going on in their empty relationship and quite ordinary daily life--until something horrible and hideous brutally puts an end to their trip.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
[Dumont] forces viewers to question not only what's on the screen, but ultimately, the very nature of reality.
– Bob Townsend,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
20 May 2004
rotten:
It's alternately monotonous, hot and dramatic, which makes for a peculiar, not entirely unsatisfying atmosphere of neo -- or is that post? -- noir.
– Michael O'Sullivan,
Washington Post,
28 May 2004
rotten:
In Twentynine Palms, writer and director Bruno Dumont takes his cultural revenge on the United States, attacking countless American stereotypes and in the process reinforcing an equal number of cliches about arrogant French auteurs.
– Michael Booth,
Denver Post,
11 Jun 2004
rotten:
Muddled.
– Ruthe Stein,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2004
rotten:
A textbook example of how a director can strip away plot, motivation, character, and meaning and still leave arrant pretension standing tall.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
16 Jul 2004
