Plot synopsis
The roads of modern Russia are a symphony of chaos—and we have the dashboard camera footage to prove it. Initially meant to serve as legal documentation for Russian drivers, dash cams now capture the most extreme bits of life. They’re regularly uploaded to YouTube and amass millions of views, dropping jaws with every click. Edited entirely of this footage, The Road Movie creates a collage of bewilderment, showcasing a country where the roads are filled with extremes: car accidents of every variety, blazing fires, impossibly icy conditions, terrifying standoffs, and let’s not forget the bear or the meteor. Just like a car wreck we slow down to see, this film captures something we’d never want to be a part of but can’t help looking at. This particular road trip is one you won’t soon forget.
