Two-Lane Blacktop
“You can never go fast enough...”
Drama
A driver and a mechanic travel around the United States hopping from drag strip to drag strip in a 1955 Chevy Bel-Air coupe. They race for money, betting with their competitors. The pair gains a young and talkative female stowaway. Along the way they unintentionally attract a well-to-do drifter driving a new Pontiac GTO. This older man, looking for attention, antagonizes their efforts.
VIBE
A stark, existential road trip where the open highway offers no solace. The hum of the engine is a constant, lonely companion. It's a film about searching for meaning in motion, but finding only the void.
