10. Sasquatch Sunset

You couldn't be blamed for assuming that this drama in which Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough dress up as members of a sasquatch family was an April Fool's Day prank - or better yet, an SNL skit.

But indeed, Sasquatch Sunset is a totally earnest fantasy-drama in which Eisenberg, Keough, and co-stars Christophe Zajac-Denek and Nathan Zellner don some genuinely Oscar-worthy bigfoot makeup to play sasquatches totally straight - and totally wordlessly - for all of the film's 88 minutes.

Now, that's not to say that Sasquatch Sunset isn't without its humourous moments, but this bold experiment takes its production and very existence totally seriously. Seriously enough to premiere at last year's Sundance Film Festival, even.

While its sparse, quiet nature won't be for all tastes, it's refreshing to see such a clever fusion of the mundane and the absurd, lending its cast a rare opportunity to act in a wholly different register, using body language and facial expressions to tell the story.
