A silent fisherman in Texas a blazing oil field in North Dakota a mysterious community in Virginia a women’s prison in Oregon and a modernist home in California are the ostensible subjects of Austin Lynch and Matthew Booth’s new feature GRAY HOUSE. But as meditations upon nature isolation decadence and destitution they are flawless conduits for seamless blends of documentary and narrative form and stunning explorations of sound image and cinematic time. Mysterious and elusive yet possessing an aesthetic and sensory unity (appearances by Denis Lavant Aurore Clément and Dianna Molzan mix with direct addresses from real-life laborers and inmates) GRAY HOUSE quietly recalibrates one’s sense of the world and our place within it.
