Zusammenfassung:The American fascination with the legend of Bigfoot-or the Yeti, or Sasquatch-is both a punchline for a type of conspiracy minded "crazy talk" as well as a home-grown example of the human love of cryptids, semi-mythological animals appearing in folk cultures around the world and across the centuries, from the phoenix to the Loch Ness monster to El Chupacabra. [...]whereas those as of yet "unreal" creatures are a kind of fun-house mirror version of real animals (birds, dinosaurs, and goats, respectively), the Sasquatch is an uncanny version of ourselves, as humans. [...]Sasquatch Sunset in many ways resembles nothing less than a fine nature documentary with stunning cinematography and enhanced by a remarkable score (by Austin "indietronica" band The Octopus Project); imagine March cf the Penguins (2005), but minus Morgan Freeman and plus Sasquatches.
