Movie

Walkerville

A fictional/documentary tone-poem, making for a kind of portrait of the town of Walkerville, Montana, and of the lead actor, Gary Winterholler, who had suffered a severe stroke several years earlier and was in a process of recuperation. There is no “story” or “narrative”, rather a kind of atmosphere and ambience in which a feeling for the town and its present and former inhabitants, and compassion for Gary, are generated by means more akin to music and poetry than narrative/story-telling.
