Sounds on Screen: Road Movies
London, 24.04.24
There are few romantic notions in cinema as old and persistent than the road trip, where a physical journey mirrors the interior personal one, and the content is as open as the road itself - from fleeing chainsaw wielding maniacs, to getting the munchies and going to White Castle.
Look to the horizon and listen to an hour of road movie soundtracks, selected by Florence Scott-Anderton.
