“If you want to get more out of life,” advised Christopher McCandless, “you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” That didn’t work out so well for McCandless, the subject of Jon Krakauer’s book-length look at the vagabond spirit, “Into the Wild”: He died alone in Alaska at the age of 24.
In her nonjudgmental way, Zhao invites audiences to decide for themselves what they make of Fern’s lifestyle, which comes with certain dangers: She could freeze to death in her van, food and first aid are sometimes hard to find, and certain aspects of her behavior might suggest mental health issues. Some people need structure, while others abhor complacency.
Among the nomads, one stands out: a man named Dave who has a white van of his own and a gentle, welcoming personality. While not overtly flirtatious, he seems open to Fern in a way that complicates their solitary existence. Within this community, people seem to make friends easily, and while a certain amount of fraternization is only human, the movie is mysterious about those dynamics.
