Synopsis

Thirty years ago, Chris Petit directed Radio On, now considered a road movie cult classic. Content is a coda to that film, made in the shadow of the big crash of 2008: an ambient 21st century road movie, inspired by drift rather than by destination, driven more by its music (by AGF) and driving’s trancelike state of mind than by any linear unfolding of the road. Now with a silent young son in the back seat, Petit’s meditation on the road takes on adulthood, mortality, the landscape, other journeys (Poland, Texas), the seductiveness of new technology, email eroticism, the You Tube generation, and the relevance of Pokemon cards and brings it to this strange new world. A film of different perspectives, from the historical curve of the Cold War, genocide and political assasination to how life looks now to a six year-old from the backseat of a car.
