Barstow is a curious piece, embodying the unique vision of Harry Partch with its experimental music and theatrical staging. The atmosphere is, well, almost otherworldly, blending folk influences with avant-garde sensibilities. It’s a hitch-hiker's jaunt through a landscape of sound and story, where the pacing feels unhurried, allowing viewers to soak it all in. Practical effects are minimal, yet they serve the narrative well, focusing more on the performance than flashy visuals. The performers dive into their roles, bringing Partch's music to life in a way that feels both raw and deeply engaging. This film really stands out for its commitment to a musical experience, making it a fascinating watch for those who appreciate the blending of music and theater.
