Barber, Jack Flaherty] 520 In 1988, after years living abroad, renegade filmmaker Robert Kramer returns. "Back," he emphasizes. Not "home." To try to understand the country as it is, he decides to travel the entire length of Route 1, from the Canadian border to Key West, filming all the way. His companion on the trip is Doc--ostensibly Kramer's friend, a brooding physician back after a harrowing decade working in Africa. But in fact, he's a fictional character played by actor Paul McIsaac, a compassionate man who readily engages those he meets, from business owners, to factory workers and to army recruits.For a road movie, ROUTE ONE/USA features few shots of the open road itself. Instead, we are treated to a series of stops along the way--an Indian reserve in Maine, Walden Pond, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC, a Georgia diner, Thanksgiving dinner at a homeless shelter, and evangelical churches that preach the "truth" about the anti-apartheid movement and the dangers of Disney. There are plenty of characters along the way too, and appearances by televangelist Pat Robertson and Jesse Jackson, as they campaign for president.It's not just the people who make the film though. Kramer has an extraordinary eye for people, patterns, and industrial processes (you'll never look at Monopoly or tinned sardines the same way again), and his visuals shine through in this beautifully restored edition.Though shot decades ago, ROUTE ONE/USA feels remarkably contemporary in its portrayal of many of the racial, social, and economic challenges America continues to face. -- http://icarusfilms.com/if-route 538 DVD 546 English dialogue ; English closed-captioned. 650 7 Civilization.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00862898 651 0 United States Highway 1. 651 0 United States|xCivilization. 651 0 Gulf States|xCivilization. 651 0 Atlantic States|xCivilization. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 United States|zAtlantic States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01240724 651 7 United States|zGulf States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01240878 651 7 United States|zUnited States Highway 1.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01247290 700 1 Kramer, Robert,|d1939-1999,|eauthor of screenplay, |edirector,|efilm editor,|ecinematographer. 700 1 Phillips, Barre,|ecomposer. 700 1 Copans, Richard,|eproducer. 700 1 Jackson, Jesse,|eparticipant. 700 1 Robertson, Pat,|eparticipant. 700 1 McIsaac, Paul,|eactor. 700 1 Barber, Jillian K.,|eactor. 700 1 Flaherty, Jack,|eactor. 710 2 Icarus Films Home Video,|efilm distributor. 994 C0|bCKE
