Parable
2008, English. Directed by Jon Jost.
After being thrown out of his house, a cowboy hits the road in a senseless wave of robbery, murder and rape. On a bucolic farm a seemingly retarded woman is kept on a rope by a mute farmer. Soon, the cowboy shows up. "Parable" is a radical reflection on the George W. Bush years, where the populace has become zombie-like.
