Mountain, The

[Plays at MSP Film Society at St. Anthony on Main Theater.] After the sudden death of his cantankerous, skating coach father (Udo Kier) in the 1950s in this quirky, somber, painfully slow-paced, confusing, arty, disconnected, 106-minute, 2018 film, a quiet, introverted, sexually-numb, Zamboni operator and skating rink employee (Tye Sheridan) goes on the road in the scenic Pacific Northwest as an assistant and photographer for a controversial, antics-prone, pipe-smoking, well-known doctor (Jeff Goldblum) who is traveling to various insane asylums promoting his lobotomies for mentally ill patients (Hannah Gross, et al.) despite that the procedure has garnered negative responses.
