A young woman runs away from home and acquires a dog. Marie Mottet’s “1-800-QUIET-LIFE” is a quiet exploration of ennui and decisions to drift. Unnamed, the young woman drives aimlessly in her car; we hear a voice message left by a man’s voice insisting she return to where she’s recently left. She spots some beekeepers off to the side of the road, and upon taking a look, she’s encountered by some kind of collie-mix. Next thing we know, the pup rides with her observing from the back seat. At a motel later that night, a lobby clerk piques her interest. Set in a French countryside, the film is an intriguing look at restlessness and the decisive impulses of youth. -JM.
