The Seeker (2005)
An absorbing southwestern journey
Having introduced this film at the Santa Fe Film Festival, I am honored to recommend this work to IMDb readers. Thomas and Somers have taken the well worn road trip concept and personalized it to the extent that a fresh look at one man's journey to find himself (and the late Christopher Reeve) is revealed on the screen. Along the way, the two filmmakers manage to give the viewer an absorbing look at the American southwest, the bike culture, and what it means to be physically challenged in these modern times. Although Somers, as the main character in this film, ostensibly seeks a "cure" for his condition, it is clear that he seeks what we all ponder: our place on this earth and other fellow travelers to share his (and our) own personal journeys. This fine film needs a wider audience, and special note should be made of both the excellent sound and music editing and the performers themselves. "The Seeker" is an excellent film about an extraordinary human being. Seek out "The Seeker".
