If you haven't read Wisconsin Death Trip, the remarkable photo document written and assembled by Michael Lesy, you may enjoy this sombre, Bergmanesque take on the travails of a small Midwestern town at the turn of the century. Marsh makes a halfhearted attempt to compare it to the same town in contemporary times, but the meat of the film is a juxtaposition of stills from Lesy's book with some frequently beautiful and well shot live action 'recreations'. If you know the book, seeing this film really isn't necessary.
