Shipwrecked on Route D 17

Screening on Film
Directed by Luc Moullet.
With Patrick Bouchitey, Iliana Lolitch, Sabine Haudepin.
France, 2002, 35mm, color, 81 min.

Moullet's most recent film, a Gulf War comedy, is a manifesto for a new free cinema. A race-car driver and his partner are waylaid when he accidentally drives over a sink-hole on a mountain path. The process of digging out puts them in contact with a couple of astrophysicians on the outs, a goat-tending shepherd with mysterious sexual power, a broken-down film crew shooting a western in the mountains, and a lost military patrol hoping to capture Saddam Hussein in the Southern Alps.
