Bodies, Rest & Motion (1993)

Bodies, Rest u0026 Motion: Directed by Michael Steinberg. With Phoebe Cates, Bridget Fonda, Tim Roth, Eric Stoltz. A fired TV salesman in Arizona decides to move to Butte, MT, in his car with his girlfriend. She meets a single housepainter.

“Despite the little attention this movie has gotten, and the varied, sporadic comments and reviews, u0026quot;Bodies, Rest and Motionu0026quot; is the most wonderful thing I have seen in years. The four actors (Fonda, Stoltz, Cates, and Roth) could not do better to bring to us a very subtle, touching, and elegant portrayal of loves come and gone and lives living on threads. Thereu0026#39;s no action here, and very little actually happens, but the dialogue and the attention to details are so strong, you find you donu0026#39;t need anything more; you can simply revel in each actorsu0026#39; beauty and condition. You have to watch this movie more than once, and you have to cry at times, itu0026#39;s that good. Iu0026#39;m scratching my head why this movie did not make greater acclaim. Either Iu0026#39;m going mental, or the world is just missing out.”
