Fancy watching a documentary that is made up almost entirely of unbridled chaos?
Well dang, then you’re in luck.
The Road Movie is one of those doccies that probably didn’t cost a great deal to make, because every bit of footage comes from Russian dashcams.
Sounds like a YouTube compilation masquerading as a documentary, but The Daily Beast seem pretty excited:
Dmitrii Kalashnikov’s documentary is a uniquely amusing—and harrowing—snapshot of the lunacy that awaits people on modern thoroughfares and back streets. Think Cops by way of Faces of Death by way of your favorite [sic] caught-on-film YouTube channel. It’s crowdsourced verité cinema, assembled by Kalashnikov with droll humor and an incisive sense of mankind’s compassion and cruelty, and life’s unbelievable precariousness…
It’s a portrait of Russia in all its insanity—equal parts expansive countryside, forest fire-drenched roadways, and hatchet-wielding motorists—that doubles as a universal snapshot of existence as perilous, petrifying and comical.
And yes, of course there is a healthy dose of road rage.
Bring on the madness!
Note to self – if travelling in Russia, be sure to use public transport.
