A local guide takes a young couple through a twisted backpacking trip across the Georgian wilderness.
With a strong, strange sense of place that makes it something like a science fiction film that is nevertheless set in the here and now, "The Loneliest Planet" unfolds against the lush, exotic flora of the Caucasus Mountains in the country of Georgia. Writer-director Julia Loktev's film follows the story of Nica (Hani Furstenberg) and Alex (Gael García Bernal), a couple engaged to be married, as they backpack their way through the region.

The film interlaces the couple's own relationship with that of their guide, Dato (Bidzina Gujabidze), and other locals as they remain perennial outsiders because of their economic status — tourists in multiple senses of the word. But Loktev gives fuller attention to the dynamic between Nica and Alex, as their adventure pushes their relationship to the breaking point.

Though the short story on which the film is based, "Expensive Trips Nowhere" by Tom Bissell, was set in Central Asia, Loktev decided that the otherworldly mountain ranges of Georgia, which she had visited previously, were where she wanted to set the action. Loktev uses her spare, elemental storytelling style — nothing much happens, until something does — as an entry point to the story's core exploration of male-female dynamics.

"I spent so many hours looking at mountains on Google Earth," Loktev said by phone from her home in New York, noting that Kazakhstan, for example, looked too much like Colorado to her. "The landscape is like music in the film — it completely changes the tone of the film. It's there throughout, and you feel it at every moment."

Bernal, increasingly busy as a producer as well as an actor, had long remembered the vivid descriptions of the Caucasus from Mikhail Lermontov's 19th-century novel "A Hero of Our Time." So for him, traveling to the remote region for the film was a selling point.

"It's like the old part of what the world is," the Mexican-born Bernal said in a conversation from Buenos Aires, where he lives some of the time."The account you make up in your mind is somewhat an illusion, but when you see it for real it's even far more incredible than you imagined.
