Can't write a movie review

Endless highway driving, music in the car, little shop by the road, dog in the house, messy kitchen. Some images always remind me of certain details of American life.

This is an interview, countless conversations, but it is more like the mutual immersion of two people's lives, in a limited time. They talk about loneliness, creativity, intimacy, ideals.

However, the journey was not as pleasant as it seemed. "Travel End" was suicide, after the author promoted his acclaimed book across the United States.

"Life with a dog won't excite you, but you won't hurt other people's feelings anymore." "I sometimes drink alcohol, sometimes I don't touch alcohol for ten days, and I run ten kilometers every day. I'm desperate."

Very American, he wanted to end his despair with a tough approach.

I recommend Journey's End, probably the best movie I've seen this year.
