MOTORIST follows the driver of a 1962 Thunderbird as he
crosses the Southwest and arrives into Los Angeles, all the while commenting on the road and his personal history with cars.
Richard Marcus plays the motorist with a nervous intensity
that captures the "white line fever" of a cross-country road trip.
One reviewer said,
"This sad, funny, gorgeous-looking feature-length videotape tracks the end of an American dream."
