Riepilogo
Drowning on Dry Land is a 1999 American drama-romance film directed by Carl Colpaert. The movie centers around the unconventional relationship that unfolds between Raj, a quiet and guarded taxi driver, and Clara, a woman of unknown motives who hires him for an impromptu cross-country journey. With minimal dialogue and heavy emphasis on visual storytelling, the film explores themes of loneliness, connection, and the human desire for intimacy. The contrast between their personalities and the vast, desolate landscapes they traverse serves as a metaphor for the vast distances that can exist between two people despite physical proximity.
