@ IFC Center
Named after the native civilization which predated European settlement of the Phoenix area, this is another film that stands out in the New Talkies series due to the unusual location. Basically it explores an unexciting yet fulfilling relationship between two people somewhere in the Valley of the Sun, which looks harsh and inhumane, full of undeveloped lots and pedestrian-hostile highways. Ross focuses a lot on bodily functions (excretion, sickness, hydration, etc.) at least partially as they are affected by the Arizona climate. His was perhaps the most edifying post-screening Q&A I've attended thus far. The score was recorded by Happy Apple, and is probably roughly what you might expect if you're familiar with them.
