Review
Back in the old days, it MEANT something to take the bus from city to city. At least, that's what this film is trying to tell us. In this Encylopedia "We see no need to have music" Brittanica film. A young boy and his father (?) start the trip from an undisclosed city on the bus, soon they're on this way too narrow highway missing other vehicles by THIS much. We pass by pretty country, have a stop-over at another city, the bus drivers change, then they're off again (you're hoping the trip ends right there) soon they reach their (undisclosed) destination city, and the film ends. Yes, it's as exciting as it sounds. One bonus point though, I have a rumble seat, I can plug my computer's bass into my seat. It was kind of wild to have the bus rumbling underneath me. Kinda like I was there...
