Summary: Not Worth The Watch Except To See KD Naked I guess
Review: I don't consider this a lesbian film at all. There was little chemistry between the two characters. There were many confusing hallucinatory scenes which were simply added. The scenery was beautiful and KD's song (grossly overplayed over and over) is beautiful as well. But honestly, if that's all you can say is this had great scenery, a beautiful theme song and a good acting job by KD...that alone does not make a movie good. Although the acting was well done...the scenes seemed forced and the plot was scattered amongst many scenes trying to be artsy for arts sake.

Summary: I really liked this hauntingly compassionate movie.
Review: I felt this movie was about an understanding between two people who were misfits in totally different ways in a hostile environment. It portrays human compassion at its zenith. I really liked this strange movie. It makes you think and realize that we are all one.

Summary: A fine performance!!
Review: I love this movie! My favorite part is when they cross all that snow in the snowmobile and the theme song goes on and on. I can't find that song anywhere and I wish I could because it's so haunting and it's stayed with me ever since.

Summary: i love this film!
Review: I think this is a grate film. I noticed other reviwers didn't think so, but they probaly only watched it once. The first time i saw Salmonberries it seemed slow and very confusing! The second time i saw it, i began to understand the complex story line. And now that I understand the movie I can realy enjoy it.

Summary: Kots as a girl
Review: Kots in gSalmonberriesh is definitely one of the most difficult characters to analyze in vast number of movies. She does not only have her gender confusion, she also struggles amongst her nationality, class, and roots. Obviously her gender problem is led by this lack of establishing her identity.
Unlikely most of the other movies show womenfs body as commodity, Kotsf naked body was just appears instead of trying to make her body objectified. This scene reveals the moviefs core of the subject, which is that this movie tries to overthrow our established theory of Hollywood type movie, nice and cozy. On the contrary to watching the naked body of women in most of the movies make male viewer pleasurable somehow, watching Kots naked does not give anybody comfortable feeling.
Plus, there is no stereotypical things happening in this movie. Strange things keep on happening and try to make us defamiliatize. To help this defamiliatization, the class, which Kots in does a good job. The way she lives just looks uncomfortable, cold, and full of confusion toward her identity.
The case of confusion, which Kots has is very rare, we can simply obverse what happens when the intersection of confusion of race and gender. Observing this intersection is sort of pitiful because most of the time we feel very uncomfortable watching a middle-aged woman and almost-boy looking girl kiss or trying to develop their relationship. However, this movie tries to make us have queer feeling, thus, in this point, this movie is successive.
Another important point of Kotsf disconnected identity is symbolized by Germany, which this country was two completely different countries, however they united together. To unite completely, they have lots of difficulties make everything organized, just like it is really difficult to organize Kotsf identity, and establish stable one. Thus, the collapse of Berlin walls, then trying put them together is paralleled with Kotsf journey of establishing her identity.

Summary: Beautiful scenery, but slow and uninteresting.
Review: Let me start by saying that I love art films. This is a feeble attempt to be one. The cinematography is beautiful, The Song is hauntingly beautiful (though repeated, ad nauseum). By the middle of the interminably long movie, I no longer cared about either of the main characters, and only watched til the end because I hoped something interesting might happen. I don't feel there was any chemistry whatsoever between the characters, and adding a sexual component to it seemed completely contrived and unncessary. There are many more interesting, complex lesbian centered movies: Aimee and Jaguar and Fire, to name just two. Steer clear of this one. (By the way, the momentary glimpse of kd lang nude is completely gratuituous and not the least bit "steamy.")

Summary: Incredible scenery, amazing story, wonderful acting
Review: My interest in this movie was initially based on k.d. lang's appearance in the same. However, I was soon submersed in the incredible story and beautiful scenery. This is a love story. This is the story of acceptance. The characters are deeply rooted and complex. I own the VHS version, and recently bought the DVD. I recommend purchasing the DVD because the quality is far superior, and there is additional bonus footage. Lang is interviewed by Percy Adlon as they watch clips of the movie together in her home. She presents her take on the complex character she played, and on her co-star. If you're looking for a movie that will touch your heart, both in pain and in joy, I recommend buying this DVD.
