Heavily inspired by the films of Béla Tarr and approaching in a similar vein to that of his own 1998 remake of Hitchcock’s Psycho, the films that make up Van Sant’s unofficial “Death Trilogy” includes the man’s finest achievement, Gerry (the other two films are Elephant and Last Days). Deeply psychological to the point of the abstract, Gerry basically consists of actors Casey Affleck and Matt Damon playing friends as they casually wander and become lost in a New Mexico desert. What follows are sequences as repetitive and lossless as the characters ultimately become... or have always been?A trial of patience (for them and the audience) and of fate (the road was right there), circumstance (how'd he get on the rock exactly?), and the acceptance of death (they both have the same name). Gerry is provocative in how it presents such an ironic, internal struggle in a exterior place that skirts the lines of real and fantastic. While the premise of its simple story is quite bare, the recollection of all that happens - and the final scene - turn Van Sant’s survival tale into something more interpretive and haunting. An allegory on repressive identity.
