Imagine if the monkey business at the start of 2001: A Space Odyssey carried on for the whole film. Such is the deal in Sasquatch Sunset, an absurdist comedy by fraternal filmmaking duo David and Nathan Zellner (2014’s Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter). Only instead of actors in ape suits we have actors in Bigfoot suits, living out a year in the North American wilderness.
As the seasons pass, we follow a female sasquatch (Riley Keough) and three males (Jesse Eisenberg, Nathan Zellner, Christophe Zajac-Denek) as they forage, groom, play, tussle and interact with other (real) animals. The Zellners also show their hirsute heroes as they urinate, defecate, fornicate and masturbate.
