Some might not appreciate this quirky modern morality tale. Philip Baker Hall stars as a displaced widower in his 70s living in a future where there are no more community parks. The government took away all kinds of services, like social security and medicare.
Our "hero" befriends a duck and raises it as his pet until the city of Los Angles drains its pond. The pair set out on a trip to try and move to near the ocean. It's a near future tale exploiting every liberal fear imaginable.
Well acted and unexpected. Have a look for this strange flick form Bandon or North Bend.
