Description

Richard C. Sarafian's Vanishing Point (20th Century Fox, 1971) is the ultimate analog car chase movie with that hard-to-pin-down something extra. Written by renowned Cuban novelist Guillermo Cabrera Infante under a pseudonym (Guillermo Cain), it's nominally the saga of a speedaddled Vietnam vet existentially on the lam in a Dodge Challenger. It's also a modern Western, a dystopian allegory of our surveillance society, and a love letter to the muscle car, all rolled into one. No surprise it's become a cult classic, adored and paid homage to by Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Prince, Alberto Moravia, Guns n' Roses, Primal Scream, Audioslave, and countless others. In the fifty-plus years since the film's release, the lore and legends around it have grown like Topsy. Now, Robert M. Rubin's Vanishing Point Forever brings together everything there is to know in one lavishly illustrated volume. A monumental treat for anyone who loves film culture, Vanishing P
