The Road Movie: a complex cinematic journey that incorporates mythic themes of questing, searching, adventure, being, love, a home and the promise of a better future - and also serves as a map of current cultural trends.
This book explores the history of the road movie through a series of detailed essays on key films in the genre - and through these studies a clear vision of the road movie appears.
From Apocalypse Now to Crash - from Easy Rider to The Wild Bunch and The Wizard of Oz, this is a comprehensive illustrated guide to a diverse body of films. Very good book.
