Product Description

With the melancholy open-road epic Two-Lane Blacktop American auteur Monte Hellman (The Shooting Cockfighter & the recent Road to Nowhere) poeticised the beautiful terrible rootlessness of his nation in the era of Vietnam. Funded by Universal in a bid to recreate the success of Easy Rider – by giving a number of filmmakers $1m & final cut – Hellman's effort is now regarded as one of the key films of the New Hollywood renaissance of the early 1970s. While driving eastward on Route 66 two rival car owners – The Driver (singer-songwriter James Taylor) & The Mechanic (Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys) in a souped-up drag-racing '55 Chevy & a middle-aged braggart (Warren Oates) in a gleaming GTO – begin to race for each other's pink slips & the affections of the listless female hitchhiker (Laurie Bird) who joins them on the road. Scripted by esteemed novelist Rudy Wurlitzer & featuring the only screen performances of Taylor & Wilson Two-Lane Blacktop remains a timeless existential portrait of lives in transit & of a country questioning its identity. Special Director-Approved Blu-Ray
