The final installment in the Polish brothers' place-name trilogy (Twin Falls Idaho and Jackpot, earlier) is without doubt something different, but that doesn't mean it isn't something awful, a lugubrious curio about the evacuation of a desert town in the shadow of a proposed dam in the mid-Fifties, while at the same time a queer quartet of supernaturals, named Happy, Cup of Tea, Flower Hercules, and God, search the terrain for the Unknown Angel. (Signs of angels are everywhere: the halo-like hot plate on the stove, the white feathers in the hatbands of the black-garbed Evacuation Committee, the metal wings pinned to their jacket pockets.) There are some striking images -- the cemetery of open graves, for example, or the shaggy rust-colored beast on stilts -- but never without a stretch or a muscle strain. James Woods, Nick Nolte, Peter Coyote, Claire Forlani, Daryl Hannah, Anthony Edwards. (2003) — Duncan Shepherd
