The Burning Plain Film at Venice Film Festival

The film opens with a shot of a trailer on fire in the New Mexico desert with the landscape appearing barren and exposed. The story starring Chalize Theron, whom I think is the most beautiful actress, is about her running a restaurant in Oregon but being confronted by a mysterious visitor from Mexico. The film is directed by Guillermo Arriago and was initially titled "The Four Elements" ---- water, earth, wind and fire. I guess Portland is the water and we are the rest. Seems like New Mexico has become typecast as either a foreign planet, Mexico or early fifties. Oh well, at least we are getting film productions here. We are so much more however.
