THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE
2006
http://www.ghandshake.com


David Lynch move over. In his debut feature length, film writer / director Todd Rohal superbly crafts surreal mystery of seemly unrelated small town events. Set in the shadow of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, and augmented by a cast of locals, The Guatemalan Handshake draws you in with dreamlike imagery as you start to experience the “logic” of rural America thru the eyes of 10-year-old girl named Turkeylegs.

The film opens with the confusion surrounding a massive power outage, during which an awkward demolition derby driver vanishes with his father’s prize possession, a wedge shaped bright orange electric car. Turkeylegs seems to be the only one concerned for her missing driver friend as the film follows both her quest and the car through this surreal mysterious adventure. Culminating at a massive demolition derby, where the missing driver’s pregnant girlfriend beats the titleholder, her father, the film leads you down a path of characters that include a pack of wild boy scouts, a lactose intolerant roller rink employee, an elderly woman in search of her lost dog that attends her own funeral.

Augmented by stunning photography, and tight editing, The Guatemalan Handshake is one of the “must see” films now making its way thru local film festivals in both the US and Europe. Do check the website for time and showing near you. This is one surreal tale that will leave you both dazed & confused and warm & fuzzy at the same time.
