In the search for the one true road movie of its country, a 1981 film about a sales representative crossing an entire nation in his car is the only choice. Everything about it was visionary: the direction, the camera work, the use of amateur actors, and a screenplay based on Homer's Odyssey. The camera revels in parking lots, construction cranes and vast concrete structures, farms, hair salons, discotheques, motorway service plazas, cheap hotel rooms, and dim bars. This book transfers the 16mm film into a photo book featuring some 180 carefully scanned still frames, making it a unique document of a country long gone that still captivates today.
