Cinematic road movie (8*)
Two bikers set on a road trip in the USA. What starts as an adventure becomes a discovery of American culture at the end of the sixties.
Beautifully set in the southern states, the film invites viewers on to the main actors' road trip. It is definitely worth seeing the movie in HD: views on landscapes are carefully mixed with the story.
With many scenes shot close to the actors, it's easy to 'feel' within the story. Overall, the length of the scenes suited the movie well. Some camera cuts were inventive but maybe a little annoying.
The actors' performance was great, portraying open-minded Peter Fonda and hesitating Dennis Hopper. They give the film a peaceful progress. The different persons and communities they meet were very credibly put together, resulting in authentic 'clashes' and 'mixes' of cultures.
The music fit the film. 'Born to be wild' is an obligatory participant.
It's a great movie to get a cultural trip into the '60s USA.
