以美國前衛電影大師詹姆斯班寧為攝錄對象的紀錄片。導演從其位於加州的基地出發前往猶他州；這趟影像遷徙，可視為一種另類的入門導讀，帶領觀者進入這位實驗電影大師深邃而龐大的詩意世界。作為一名依自己的直覺與追尋行事的作者，鏡頭所捕捉的，除了有導演找尋著適合的拍片地點與主題，更可以看到他個人與自然景觀的獨特締結，以及這份默契如何「進入」他的作品，形成無可複製、詹姆斯班寧的影像魔力。

A true masterpiece of 70s cinema, more remarkable today than ever before. A conceptual bicentennial film dealing with spatial and temporal relationships between two travelers, their car, and the geographic, political, and social changes from New York to Los Angeles. The space within each frame is at the same time continuous and elliptical.

Intercourse between two people who never appear on the screen at the same time. An exploration of sex and male/female identities.

"Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking." These words, attributed to the Oglala Sioux medicine man Black Elk, are the final bit of text to appear in veteran filmmaker James Benning's FOUR CORNERS which uses a specific geographic location to pose larger questions about the United States. Here, the geographic and wholly imaginary place Four Corners, that favorite tourist destination where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah meet, becomes a kind of theoretical ground zero, the site from which Benning can give voice to other, pointedly unofficial sort of spurious conspiracy (the history of the United States), but one in which each sound and each image hints at a story not yet fully told (the histories of the United States.)." - Manohla Dargis, LA Weekly

In 1985, Richard Linklater began a film screening society in Austin, Texas, that aimed to show classic films to a budding community of cinephiles. Eventually incorporating as a nonprofit, the newly branded Austin Film Society raised enough money to fly in their first out-of-town invitee: filmmaker James Benning. Starting in the ’60s, Benning had been creating non-narrative films largely on his own, while Linklater had just begun to craft his first 8mm shorts. Ever since their first meeting, the filmmakers have remained close, even as their careers have wildly diverged. This documentary explores their unique friendship and relationship to cinema.

This is a very serious film of a fragmented family called by the father to assist him in committing suicide. Formally it is in no way a conventional film.
