ex-racer Kowalski transferred to a white Dodge Challenger by half USA to San Francisco, is interested in null for speed limits and is soon chased by police across the state. A black radio DJ is inciting the public so that rushes Kowalski is soon a media event.
Between 1971 and one of the greatest films in the world. Ruthless rushed forward, unrestrained metaphoric and reduced, and packed with (picture) messages. Once again on the gas occur before the dream of freedom and mobility is low. The oil crisis is coming shortly, and the apocalyptic acting Desert landscapes under bright sunny sky are harbingers. And the hippie dream has long since disintegrated. Surfers drown, Love Jesus and festivals take place without an audience in the desert, naked blondes ride on motorcycles through the desert dust, the gays have become bandits, and the DJ makes (among racist police torture) guilty. The hero is almost a neuter, a sketch at best, is clear, however: it can not belong to this milieu through which he passed races. The lone Western hero with a broken web entirely up to themselves and the Verkorkstheiten of which he is meditating to the sound of the V8, and in view of Schur straight highways, the mysterious vanishing point on the horizon in view.
A brilliant film to watch and listen, and of course rough and irregular with an enormous historical impact.
