vanishing point (1971)...
.
.
.
.
...:::...there is something about the sense of time in the movie vanishing point, that not only creates space, but makes place, too. it shows this by slowly elapsing from a car either moving into the distance or coming out of it, to a stillness at the end where you, the viewer, is paced with the car so that the landscape becomes the thing that is moving.
you are reeled in through fantastic velocities, super soul, and a good old fashioned show of freedom...and you fall for the protagonist, kowalski. a former race car driver trying to make it from denver to san francisco in fifteen hours. you get to know him through expansive shots of i-80 in the 1970's, when it was still a two-lane road and the towns and back country shacks and christian soul revivals and old, toothless snake catchers and naked chicks on bikes in the desert were the expected. all these characters and places have a slowness...have faces and personalities unlike the homogenous chains of fast food restaurants and mogul gas stations that monopolize the vascular on and off ramps of today. these places were part of the fabric...woven tightly to the road, grown like barnacles, exhaling a strange breath. all of these elements are beautifully connected in the movie, floating along on a morally developed narrative as broadcast by super soul. check it out...:::...

...:::...please note: some of the file extensions seem to be dropping off when sent by ysi...just add ".mp3" to the file if this happens and it should work fine...in the meantime, i'll investigate. sorry for the temporary inconvenience...:::...
