What Hit the Road Is About
A family gets into a car: a small boy who never stops talking, a father in the back with his leg in a cast, a silent older son at the wheel, and a mother holding the whole thing together. The reason for the trip goes unstated for a long time, but the audience assembles it: the older son is being smuggled out of the country and they are driving him to the border. In his first film, Panah Panahi avoids his father Jafar Panahi's political directness, hides the grief under comedy and delivers the heaviest information sideways every time. The car is nearly the only location, the camera often watches from outside, and several scenes run unbroken. Who it is for: viewers who follow the new generation of Iranian cinema and like humour braided into loss. Who it is not for: anyone wanting things said plainly, because the central fact is never actually said.
