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
