Twentynine Palms is a 2003 film directed by Bruno Dumont.

Plot

The film depicts a man, the photographer David, and woman, his Russian girlfriend Katja, who venture into the desert town of Twentynine Palms to search for nature motifs for a photo shoot. Katja hardly speaks English and David speaks no Russian so they communicate in French, which neither speaks fluently. As their verbal communication is limited, their non-verbal communication is much more intense. They often get into fights but reconcile by having sex. The sex scenes are clearly shown and filmed naturalistically.

The film stars Yekaterina Golubeva and David Wissak.
