Gus Van Sant returned to his roots in
experimental filmmaking with this offbeat feature, whose dialogue was entirely improvised by its two person cast. Two men named
Gerry (played by
Matt Damon and
Casey Affleck) are driving through the desert regions of Death Valley, traveling towards an unknown destination. They pull over and set out on foot, presuming they're getting close to what they've come to find. Before long,
Gerry and
Gerry are both lost in an unforgiving desert without food, water, or other provisions, and the harder they try to find their way back to their car, they only dig themselves deeper and deeper into the desert.
Gus Van Sant originally began shooting
Gerry in Argentina, but was soon dissatisfied with the weather and the terrain, opting to start over in California and Utah; the film premiered at
the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
