It has been so long between movies I entirely forgot that I should be telling you what we’ve seen.

A father, a Vietnam veteran, and his daughter are living in a tent in a park in Portland. They are very self-sufficient, foraging for food and making a trek (by foot) to the city once a week for additional supplies. The father runs periodic drills teaching his daughter how to hide, leaving no tracks that could lead to discovery. One day a hiker spots the daughter and the authorities eventually catch up with them. The film focuses on the difficulties both the father and daughter have adapting to a “normal” life.

The movie is based on a book (that critics say is reminiscent of The Room) and I’ve added it to my list.

These Cinematheque movies seldom disappoint.
