Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg star in undoubtedly the greatest wordless, scatological, horny and tragicomic Bigfoot movie in the history of cinema.

In the forests of Northern California, a family of four sasquatches try to survive four seasons in a habitat increasingly encroached on by Homo sapiens. They communicate entirely in grunts and whoops. They forage for food, fornicate, defecate and masturbate. They display curiosity for other creatures and mind-altering plants. And, in moments of abject terror, they come face to face with the hallmarks of human society – and the incomparable horrors of Erasure’s exuberant 1991 synth-pop banger ‘Love to Hate You’.

Helmed by the oddball Zellner brothers (Damsel, MIFF 2018; Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter, MIFF 2014), executive-produced by Ari Aster (Hereditary; Beau Is Afraid), and starring an unrecognisable Keough (War Pony, MIFF 2022; Zola, MIFF 2021) and Eisenberg (Vivarium, MIFF 2019) as hairy apes, Sasquatch Sunset is a true cinematic curio. At once hilarious and heartbreaking, it’s a strange marriage of gross-out comedy and nature documentary that offers an unexpectedly poignant rumination on environmental degradation and the pitfalls of our species’ apparent dominion over nature.

“If ever a movie seemed destined – nay, designed – for cult status or ignominy, Sasquatch Sunset is it … Strangely mesmeric.” – New York Times
