Tyrone is tasked with finding what he believes are the last V-2's. Lost in the woods of an undefined European country, people from Tyrone's past begin to appear in unusual ways, bearing strange tidings. A loved one he abandoned for the war is especially prominent in Tyrone's journey, as is a fellow soldier and a mysterious man with tidings of the present and the future that are not yet known to Tyrone. Impolex is an unjustifiable blend of the bare bones realism of John Ford's WWII documentaries and the glorious stupidity of Abbot and Costello. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
A.O. Scott, New York Times
Mr. Perry's talents are, so far, competing with his instincts for coyness and solipsism, but something new and exciting may very well emerge from his playful and disciplined experiments.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
A nine-minute single-take closeup of a woman (Kate Lyn Sheil), delivering a weirdly revelatory monologue, unexpectedly catapults the film to another level, breaking viewers' otherwise understandable alienation.
-
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Perry's movie is a bit of a sleepwalk.
-
Joseph Jon Lanthier, Slant Magazine
Impolex ekes out stirring whispers of tender masculine grief.
