Summer Cinema — The Ride

CZ
Two friends in an impro­vised con­vert­ible, a young female hitch­hik­er, a stun­ning sum­mer land­scape, and songs from the Czech band Buty – these are the ingre­di­ents of the road movie that became a cult state­ment for the nineties gen­er­a­tion. The young appeared to have it all – free­dom of spir­it, exhil­a­ra­tion and sheer joy of life, and it seemed that, in order to achieve this, they did­n’t need ​“one arm longer than the oth­er”, as the film’s lead song would have it.
