Cinema has a new odd couple in Prince Avalanche, a low budget film set in the remote, five-raged forests of Texas and starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch as an unlikely pair of workers painting markings on a seemingly endless road.
The tedium of their work allows space for them to argue, bicker, compete and bond in David Gardon Green's oddball remake of a 2011 Icelandic movie called Either Way. In competition at the Berlin film festival, where it premiers on Wednesday, Prince Avalanche has received mostly warm reviews, with reports calling it an "odd little gem of a movie".
