Abstract

The article focuses on the film *Sasquatch Sunset*, which features mythical Sasquatch creatures portrayed by actors Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg. Directed by David and Nathan Zellner, the film blends whimsy, slapstick, and moments of poignance as it depicts a small Sasquatch family navigating survival in the California Redwoods. Despite strong performances and striking cinematography by Mike Gioulakis, the film's heavy use of gross-out humor and distancing narrative style reportedly alienated some audiences at its Sundance premiere. The movie explores themes of fragility and civilization within a mythical context but maintains a tone that may challenge viewers' engagement.
