Errors in geography: When Mike is in Idaho he has a clear view of Mt. Hood. Not only is the mountain too far away to see (over 200 miles), there is another mountain range lying between Idaho and Mt. Hood, blocking the view. moreSoundtrack:

Gus van Sant's talent as a film maker with a unique vision reached fruition in this wonderful movie.
Its a remarkable achievment in all departments. The visuals are stunning, the soundtrack excellent and the acting spot on.
River Phoenix reveals himself here as an adult actor of great promise and his untimely death only adds to hopelessness of the character he plays.
Sadly from this pinnacle Van Sant would go slowly but very surely downhill towards the main stream "Good Will Hunting" and the misguided "Psycho" remake.
Not only not to be missed, its one to see and see again
