hilarious, underappreciated, oddball film, 5 April 2001
9/10

As far as I'm aware of, this is Daniel Day-Lewis' most obscure film. I happened to come across it for $2 in the clearance bin of a video store, and I am very glad I bought it! It chronicles the journey of a travelling missionary dentist (played by Lewis), a member of the DFDDC (the Dubois Foundation for the Development of Dental Consciousness), across Patagonia in search of teeth to clean. Along the way he picks up the late teens, early-20s daughter of a poor gas station attendant (who he finds hiding in his vehicle after he's driven quite some distance), who ends up becoming his assistant. I find this to be a very refreshing oddball little film, with quirky humor and strange characters, as well as good music and scenery.....But that's just me!
