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
as Guantanamera (Cuba), Wrong Side of the Road (Australia), Five
Golden Flowers (China), Africa United (South Africa), and
Sightseers (England), The Global Road Movie 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.
