Vanishing Point | Cinema
An indispensable film for every cinema and cars enthusiast, “Vanishing Point” underlines the concept of freedom and rebellion that characterized the period between the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s, infusing the message in Kowalski’s shy and tormented character, a former racing driver who now takes care of delivering from city to city cars ready for a new owner.
TITLE: Vanishing Point
YEAR: 1971
DIRECTED BY: Richard C. Sarafian
LENGHT: 1h 39 min
GENRE: action
The coast to coast concept has always represented fertile ground for movies and stories full of adrenaline and action, but “Vanishing Point” is undoubtedly one of those that manages to convey the message in the clearest and most serious way possible, above all thanks to that empathic relationship that is created between the protagonist – Kowalski – and deejay Super Soul, in a constant escape from the police who try in every way to hunt him down and put a stop to the rampant phenomenon that sees an outlaw become the symbol of rebellion against the system. The film has an exciting pace from the very first minutes and manages to keep you glued to the chair for the entire duration of a story supported by an exciting photograph, mainly carried out on the desert roads of Nevada. The star car, the one that Kowalski should drive from one end to the other as soon as possible is the now legendary ‘70 Dodge Challenger R/T and after a few scenes it will be all you want in your garage. Trust us and enjoy the ride.
