L’ingorgo – Una storia impossibile… / Black-Out in autostrada / Traffic Jam (1979) DVD5
on June 17th, 2016 at 07:25
"Traffic Jam" is a grandiose black comedy which is a little bit of Fellini's "Roma", Godard's "Weekend", and Bunuel's "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie".
A tremendous congestion hits the Rome highway ring. The biggest traffic jam ever seen lasts more than 36 hours. At the beginning the people blocked in their cars react normally. But as more time passes, the more we witness personal dramas, hysteric reactions and other grotesque situations. All the episodes are linked as if in a single plot. Cars and their hosts are a microcosm of stories part of a larger universe: the congestion.
