Prenons la route avec Sam Peckinpah et son film de camion Le
Convoi !  

Pour son plus grand succès en salle, le cinéaste convoque des
habitués de son cinéma : Kris Kristofferson, Burt Young, Ali MacGraw et Ernest
Borgnine.  

Le film suit Rubber Duck, gros bras, gros charisme. Il est le héros
épris de liberté de cette épopée sur bitume. Ses aventures se racontent en
musique entre une bande son à sa gloire et les changes sur la CB des routiers qui
se répondent tels des flows de hip hop.  

L’ordre policier est bousculé par la solidarité, la justice et le soulèvement des faibles contre l’autorité. Les routiers invisibles deviennent les représentants des minorités bien vite rattrapés par les manœuvres opportunistes des hommes politiques locaux.  

On parle de ça dans Volte-Face mais aussi de films de camion tout aussi poignant : Sorcerer de William Friedkin et Roadgames de Richard Franklin.  

Et aussi nos fameuses rubriques Cette année-là ! 🎬 et Envies 🎥 ... A écouter vite !
