This film could have been something very interesting, but comes off worse than a daytime soap opera.

It has a noir style, set in the the California Redwoods, but none of the characters are sympathetic, and Ned Beatty's over-acting drives the nail in the coffin of unsufferability. It has your typical noir plot, but somehow you end up laughing at the characters hoping they'll die soon. The poetic thread and imagery hints that there could have been something really unusual in the concept, but the execution makes it dreadful.

Doubtful if you'll even have a chance to see this on late night cable...

Saw this movie in 90s, when I was a student in Russia. Really, really loved this movie and spend some time finding it over movie forums. Still watching it with pleasure. Sometimes I feel like Tilo myself, dreaming about meeting my perfect woman! I don't understand why others gave it such a low score. You better watch something stupid, like "Pirates of Carrabien" or "Star wars 7". Unfortunately, I can't find it in a better quality. Many thanks to the actors and other people who worked on this gem.
