Vroom (1988) (original) (raw)
That rare thing, a British road movie. Beeban Kidron's debut feature is a mixture of whimsical comedy and low-key drama about two friends, handsome Jake and spiky Ringe, who escape from the claustrophobia of their small town in a rebuilt classic American car. Jake is having a relationship with his next door neighbor, sultry divorcee Susan, and the three of them take to the hills, finding a modicum of freedom and humourous adventure. However the sense of possibility soon escapes their grasp when they are forced to confront their actual futures.
