Product Description

Years before the Lord of the Rings trilogy catapulted him to international superstardom, Viggo Mortenson (Eastern Promises, a History of Violence) played Wes, a young husband locked in co-dependent discontent with his beautiful and needy wife Karen (Jennifer Rubin, the Doors). Their future prospects as barren as the sun-bleached dunes that are the surreal setting for their one room existence, Wes and Karen go through the dehumanizing motions of a modern life in which happiness is as ephemeral and elusive as the grains of sand beneath their feet.

Review

A highly visual, beautifully shot striking film ... where the director's maverick vision creates a metaphor for our times against a barren landscape. --Piers Handling, Toronto International Film Festiva

For Viggo fans that love his big heart.

I like that Viggo chooses movies that he's interested in or have some reflection of his belief system. I am a die hard Viggo fan; I can sense his spirit and big heart and also his love of doing what he enjoys. Although one can draw their own conclusions of what the director was trying to portrey, I felt it was about how their is such a lack of compassion for another human being over material possessions. About how we let random people into our personal lives due to the IRS and the debt system. And how when when "has" nothing, they have an opportunity to be truely free. Much luv to you Viggo, thanks for being you.

Really bizarre movie. Very artsy I suppose. I did watch it till the end that's all I'm saying but it has Viggo in it and that's why I bought it plus it was only like a dollar or two more to buy it instead of renting it ,now I know why. Lol

I only bought this because I love Viggo Mortensen, but it is a strange movie and I have watched it twice and still don't get it. But does not stop me from buying more of his stuff. He's easy on the eyes.

It is perhaps better suited to an off broadway stage than a film

Not quite sure why this movie has stuck with me the way it did. It is perhaps better suited to an off broadway stage than a film. Its quirky. Its sometimes difficult to understand the allegory, and at other times the message hits you directly in the face. The ongoing scene where Wes is undergoing a hopeless surgery, only to have the doctors walk out in the middle of the operation when its discovered he has no insurance, is particularly timely.
Viggo isn't Harry, btw. He's a victim of Harry, and basically his entire world. He plays the part well despite some of the scenes being somewhat overdone in their delivery. It alternately makes you want to cringe a little or laugh out loud, as in the timing of 'the bomb'. All the acting is solid. The story is solid. The dialogue intentionally mundane. And I will never think of sand in the same way again.

I'm probably the only one to give this 5 stars but for good reason.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2014

This movie... I think I'm going to be spending years trying to unravel all of the subtle mythology and metaphors wrapped within blatant social criticism of consumerism, politics, apathy, and dear god so much more. I'm a huge fan of Chuck Palahniuk's "Fight Club" and have seen it many times, appreciating the darker look at how we are and behave as humans in society. But while Fight Club is quite literally a punch in the face regarding these issues... The Gospel According to Harry is the literal grit of sand in your teeth regarding the same issues Fight Club addresses as well. It's more subtle and it lingers... abrading and annoying yet you can't get get it all out of your mouth. A punch is a punch, the pain subsides.... but I'm going to be trying to get that sand out of my teeth for years from this film.

I got a different message from the movie than was advertised. It seemed to me that it was simply a stylized version of the meaningless life that many people live. I would have prefered that the sexal intercourse scene had not been included. We already had the message that all was not perfect in that area. If not for that, I would have shared it with my kids.
