During one year in the life of four Sasquatches, we watch them wander in a forest, tend to their biological needs, get into accidents, give birth and nurse, bury their dead, and puzzle over artifacts of human civilization. With Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek and Nathan Zellner. Directed by David Zellner & Nathan Zellner. [Running Time: 1:29]

Sasquatch Sunset SEX/NUDITY 8

 – An extended sex scene shows a male Sasquatch thrusting into a female Sasquatch while on all fours and we see them thrusting and hear them both grunting and moaning until they collapse on the ground after climax and use leaves to wipe their genitals; two other Sasquatches watch.
► A female Sasquatch touches and rubs her crotch a few times and sniffs her fingers (presumably identifying that she is pregnant); a male watches from a distance and approaches her, making gestures that he wants sex and she refuses yelling and pushing him away. After eating a lot of fermented berries a Sasquatch looks at a female Sasquatch’s backside while she prepares a shelter and bends over at the waist; he charges toward her demanding sex and she chases him away grunting and flailing her arms; he then picks up a tree branch with a hole in it, apparently thinking about using it for sexual purposes, but the others yell at him when the shelter collapses. An inebriated and high Sasquatch approaches a mountain lion, seeming to want sex with it, and we see his erect penis.
► A pregnant Sasquatch’s water breaks (we see a flood of liquid pour on the ground), she lays on the ground and kneels down to push in labor; the infant falls to the ground with an umbilical cord and afterbirth attached, she bites the umbilical cord and nurses the newborn. A young Sasquatch nurses from a female Sasquatch and we see milk dribbling on her breast and abdomen. Four Sasquatches sleep in a pile in a few scenes.
► Four male Sasquatches are shown throughout the movie with visible genitals and one female with bare breasts and the outline of buttocks covered with fur; a few scenes show male Sasquatches with erect and engorged penises. A Sasquatch leans over to vomit (please see the Violence/Gore category for more details) and we see his testicles between his legs. A female Sasquatch is shown to be pregnant and we see her abdomen and her breasts swelling over time.

Sasquatch Sunset VIOLENCE/GORE 7

 – A Sasquatch sees a large mountain lion under a fallen tree and grunts at it, the cat hisses and snarls, the Sasquatch reaches toward it and we hear it snarl as the scene ends; we later see the Sasquatch dead and motionless on his back as the cat eats from his abdominal cavity (we see blood and matter); other Sasquatches throw rocks at the cat to get it to go away (one hits the dead Sasquatch in the head) and they take the body to bury it in the forest. A Sasquatch jumps on a fallen tree in a stream and it begins to roll, pinning him under it and when another Sasquatch tries to help pull him out, the log rolls on top of him and pins him under the surface of the water drowning him; we see him later on the shore with three large scavenger birds pecking at his remains and the other Sasquatches throw feces at them scaring them away so they can carry the body to the forest and bury him. A Sasquatch panics when her newborn lies motionless on the ground; she picks it up grunting and shaking it, trying to revive it, and eventually it breathes and seems OK.
► A pregnant Sasquatch’s water breaks (we see a flood of liquid pour on the ground), she lays on the ground and kneels down to push in labor and the infant falls to the ground with an umbilical cord and afterbirth attached (she bites the umbilical cord); we see a mountain lion standing nearby watching them and the Sasquatch throws the umbilical cord and the afterbirth to the cat and it picks it up snarling as the Sasquatches walk away.
► A young Sasquatch holds a rooster over a live trap and taps its feet on the trigger until another grunts and throws a branch on it causing it to snap closed (no one is harmed). A young Sasquatch picks up a turtle and holds it close to his face, he licks it and the turtle bites his tongue and won’t let go; the Sasquatch screams and we see his tongue being pulled when he tries to pull the turtle off, and another Sasquatch hits the turtle until it lets go (a Sasquatch then throws the turtle across a stream and we hear a tiny scream). A Sasquatch holds a skunk as the skunk eats something from his hand and the Sasquatch sniffs the animal’s fur. A Sasquatch finds a trap in the forest with a bone and some fur caught in it.
► Two Sasquatches find a human camp and rummage through food and belongings, eating pills, candy and snack foods; one switches on a cassette player and seems to become angered by the music, throwing the device on the ground and the two then tear up the camp, throwing and pulling things apart and one urinates on some of the items (we see the urine stream). Two Sasquatches chirp and grunt at a large statue of a Sasquatch apparently thinking it is real.
► After an extended sexual encounter (please see the Sex/Nudity category for more details) two sasquatches use leaves to wipe their genitals. A Sasquatch picks things off the back of another Sasquatch’s back and eats them in a few scenes; she sneezes on the back of his head (we do not see anything) and he seems angry in one scene. A Sasquatch picks his nose and licks his finger (we do not see goo).
► A Sasquatch eats fermented berries and grunts at others not to come near them; he eats many of the berries and we see him lying on the ground later (seemingly inebriated) and we see a lot of berry juice and matter on his chin and fur. A Sasquatch eats a brightly colored mushroom and foams at the mouth while yelling; he leans over and vomits a torrent of green goo later and we see a lot of goo in his facial fur. Three Sasquatches throw rocks into a stream and eventually pull out a large fish; they hold the fish over their mouths and eat the roe as it streams out of the creature, and then eat the flesh of the fish while one of them breaks oysters with a rock. A Sasquatch pulls the bark off a tree branch and eats the insects underneath it. A Sasquatch sniffs mushrooms growing on a tree stump and calls to others after tasting them to be sure that they are safe. A Sasquatch falls on the forest floor a couple of times while inebriated and flatulates when he stands back up. A Sasquatch eats a slug.
► Smoke billows in the distance and moves toward Sasquatches as they walk through a forest. Three Sasquatches find a paved road and thrash and grunt when they see it extending in the distance in both directions; they all urinate on the road, they defecate on the road and the female sprays breast milk on the road (we see all of the matter).
