The Global Road Movie looks at the road movie genre from a wider perspective, exploring the motif of travel not just in American films. Through analyses of several films, this book enables us to think afresh about how today's road movies fit into the history of the genre and what they can tell us about how people move about in the world today.
The road movie is one of the most tried and true genres, a staple since the earliest days of cinema. This book looks at the road movie from a wider perspective than ever before, exploring the motif of travel not just in American films-where it has been most prominent-but via movies from other nations as well. Gathering contributions from around the world, the book shows how the road movie, altered and refracted in every new international iteration, offers a new way of thinking about the ever-shifting sense of place and space in the globalized world.Through analyses of such films asGuantanamera(Cuba),Wrong Side of the Road(Australia),Five Golden Flowers(China),Africa United(South Africa), andSightseers(England),TheGlobal Road Movieenables us to think afresh about how today's road movies fit into the history of the genreand what they can tell us about how people move about in the world today.
