“You should see it for the simplest of reasons: Because it is a good story. Not because it may be important. Not because it is unforgettable, unyielding. Not because it horrifies. Not because the score is creepily spiritual. Not because it is littered with small lines of dialogue you will remember later. Not because it contains warnings against our own demise. All of that is so.”
After reading a rave review from Esquire [excerpt above] and finding the trailer to be horrifically gorgeous I’m thinking that it’s time to start breaking in pages of Cormac McCarthy‘s “pitch perfect post-apocalyptic masterpiece” The Road before the film is released in October.
Back in 2007, Chris wrote one of the finest and most inspired Gorilla vs Bear posts that centered on creating an audible landscape to accompany The Road. I highly recommend checking it out here.
