THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE

Details

• Release Year: 2007
• Genre: Comedy, Drama
• Plot: Winner of Special Jury Prizes at Slamdance and Torino, Todd Rohal's madly innovative, vivacious feast for the senses overflows with 'unusual flavors and oddball charm' (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) and 'funny, poetic moments' (Chicago Sun-Times).; ; In the confusion following a massive power outage, Donald Turnupseed (actor-musician Will Oldham, Old Joy) vanishes, setting in motion a surreal series of unforgettable widescreen surprises: a woman attends her own funeral, a childhood TV legend leaps from a cliff, and a bright orange, wedge-shaped electric car changes hands again and again. Chaotically absurd with an underlying poignancy, these droll vignettes come crashing together in a climactic demolition derby.
