Twin Falls Idaho

Garrett Morris, Holly Woodlawn, Jon Gries, Jonathan Gries, Lesley Ann Warren

A movie about conjoined (or "Siamese") twins and a prostitute sounds like a bad joke or a sleazy porn flick, but Twin Falls Idaho is actually an eerie, atmospheric story about love and mutual ...( read more  read more... )dependence. Penny (Michele Hicks) gets called to a dingy hotel room where she discovers Blake and Francis Falls (twin brothers Mark and Michael Polish). When they go into the bathroom to get her a glass of water, she flees--but forgets her purse. When she returns, Blake and Francis don't get angry; they accept her fear and horror with sad resignation. Their vulnerability draws Penny into their lives, as she learns that the illness of one twin threatens the lives of both. Twin Falls Idaho moves slowly, but the pace never drags. The lush cinematography is drenched in color; the makeup, costumes, and set design feel not quite contemporary and combine to give the movie a dislocated, otherworldly look. The movie was written by the Polish brothers and directed by Michael; though it's their first film, it feels confident and has a sweet, melancholy humor. The performances of the entire cast--including supporting appearances by Patrick Bauchau, Lesley Ann Warren, and Garrett Morris--are consistent and strong. Though clearly influenced by David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks), Twin Falls Idaho slowly becomes a unique and affecting creation. The delicate image of the twin brothers quietly whispering in each other's ears will linger in your memory long after the movie ends. --Bret Fetzer

    Is an unusual movie. Its true, what you remember after the movie ends is the twins whispering in each other's ears.

    Not a bad movie. The twins were fun to watch. Overall I don't give it more because I didn't connect with anyone, and I felt like I was supposed be emotional at the end and wasn't.

    First feature film by the Polish brothers, which was not quite as good as I expected. The film revolves around a sad theme and is very moving. The Polish brothers have the best cinematography around, but the direction lagged just a bit. The pace of the film needed to be faster.

    this goes on with my siamese obsession. oh, coinjoined people, they look so beautiful while hugging. carefully bulid up with feelings and passions and stories and images and circus. feel I miss that love because I haven't brothers, feel messed up for that, feel in the movie, right.
