Twin Falls Idaho is a 1999 independent film directed by Michael Polish, who co-wrote and co-stars in the film with his identical twin brother, Mark Polish.
[edit] Plot
The film potrays the lives of shy conjoined twins Blake and Francis Falls, who have lived much of their lives in a rundown hotel secluded from the outside world. After meeting an eccentric young woman named Penny, they agree to attend a Halloween party and pretend to be wearing a "Siamese Twins" costume. The rest of the movie involves the brothers dealing with Francis's health problems and Blake's budding relationship with Penny.
[edit] Reception
The film was a minor critical and financial success. It has received a 73% "Fresh" rating from critics polled by Rottentomatoes.com and won awards at the Athens International Film Festival and the Deauville Film Festival. Its limited American theatrical run earned approximately double its $500,000 budget. It has since been released to DVD.
