That sunset scene on the farm really reminds me of Raymond Carver's story "Cathedral." The narrator's wife invites an old friend, a blind man, over to their house, they end up getting drunk and sharing a joint. Then the wife goes to bed, and the blind man and the husband are watching a TV program about cathedrals in Spain. He realizes the blind man has no idea what cathedrals look like, and the man asks him if they could draw one together, which they do.
Haven't read it! But makes for a real interesting analog to the tangerines scene at the beginning of the movie too. To appreciate that something exists, even though you can't see it, or it isn't with you anymore... "To forget that it isn't there."
