When his girlfriend Desiree (Leslie Bibb) breaks up with him, the heartbroken Zia (Patrick Fugit) commits suicide cutting his wrists. He awakes in the arid Beyond, a dark place inhabited by suicidal people and worst than the world of the living. He finds a job in the pizzeria Kamikaze, sharing a room with a weird roommate. When Zia meets a former friend, he is informed that Desiree has also committed suicide a couple of months after his death. He befriends the Russian guitarist Eugene (Shea Whigham), who died electrocuted in a rock concert, and together they decide to seek out Desiree. While driving in a lonely road, they meet the hitchhiker Mikal (Shannyn Sossamon), who is chasing the People in Charge to clarify that she is not a suicidal, but a victim of OD. In their journey, they befriend Kneller (Tom Waitts), who owns a camping, and Eugene falls in love for Nanuk (Mikal P. Lazarev).
"Weistcutters: A Love Story" is an original and surrealist road movie. The pleasant story is weird, but a great entertainment due to the chemistry among the lead trio - Shannyn Sossamon, Patrick Fugit and Shea Whigham. The conclusion is excellent, open to interpretation of the trip of Zia. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Paixão Suicida" ("Suicide Passion")
