Small Roads

Directed by James Benning

James Benning films 47 roads in the USA: not only expansive landscapes crossed by trains, but also narrow lanes where only an occasional animal or vehicle passes. This is a virtuoso landscape painting that depicts each two-lane blacktop from a central perspective, and it’s an entirely mesmerising work that redefines the notion of the road movie.
