Esquire har sett “The Road”, John Hillcoats filmatisering av Cormac McCarthys roman, med Viggo Mortensen i huvudrollen: “The Road Is the Most Important Movie of the Year”.
“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. Don’t see it just because you loved the book. The movie stands alone. Go see it because it’s two small people set against the ugly backdrop of the world undone.”
Filmen får amerikansk premiär i oktober. Ingen trailer finns ute än men USA Today har första bilderna ur filmen: First Look: The Road.
