MOTORAMA U.S.A. Independent Cinema - Fiction

Destined to be a cult classic, Motorama is unquestionably one of the weirdest road movies ever made. Ten-year-old Gus des- perately wants to win a gas station contest called Motorama (col- lect all the letters and win 500 million dollars) so he flees his abu- sive parents and sets off on a road trip across a vast, expression is- tic American landscape. Gus traverses a terrain populated by strange and hostile adults, played by an assortment of cult actors Street, – Mary Woronov, Jack Nance, Flea, Garrett Morris, Drew Barrymore and Meat Loaf. Beautifully photographed with vivid comic-book colors in surreal Southwestern landscapes, Motorama is consisfax: tently innovative, exciting and truly bizarre. -Deborah McCrae
