A Top Ten Favorite Film
One of my all-time favorites is a film by the brothers, Mark and Michael Polish, from 1999 called Twin Falls Idaho. The film centers around three main characters, their inter-relationships and their difficult situations. At the heart of Twin Falls is conjoined twins Francis and Blake Falls whose single body may no longer support both brothers and their struggle with possible separation. Penny is a curious girl with serious financial problems. After meeting the brothers under strange circumstances Penny works to bring them out into the world. There's a profound personal dilemma for each character which is completely relatable. The way each relate and affect each other is entrancing.
Twin Falls has beautifully understated performances supported by great production design, cinematography and direction.
Twin Falls was an independent film made on a tiny budget and has one of the best commentary tracks ever. There's alot of history behind making the film thats not only interesting for filmmakers but generally entertaining. I won't lie, there is a little velveeta at the end but by the time you get there you probably won't mind. Its way better than the trailer makes it out to be and completely worth watching. I really loved it.
