Overview

A young man embarks on a cosmic journey after deciding to plan a party. “His Heart Lived in Lonesome Valley” directed by Benjamin Finkel is an eerie transcendental head-trip. Never allowing itself to be fully comprehendible, the film maneuvers through the unknown with a bizarre, darkly comedic vision. To begin, the man receives a message from an ominous visitor (himself?) suggesting he have a party. Agreeing, he goes upstairs to get ready, and that's where an immortal soul (embodied as a single pea on the floor) catches his attention and leads him on a voyage through time and space. The gloriously strange conceit is delivered with enigmatic visuals and atmospheres and leaves a haunting impression.
