Commute (1995)

NR 57 minJan 1st, 1995
The film proper begins as Baillie takes the passenger seat of an older Honda and films an hourlong drive in the rain Baillies attention moves from passing images on the roadside to other vehicles to the raindrops that squirm across the windshield Underneath the realtime gambol Baillie supplies a soundtrack ostensibly on a tape thrust into the cars cassetteradio player at journeys start that lampoons local folksy radio shows with snippets from movies Golden Age radio public service announcements and authoritative commentary by an incomprehensible child The track lends a nostalgic air to a film devoid of humans as objects but filled with meditative rumination and startlingly poetic imagery such as a large truck enveloped in the water spray kicked up by its own wheels
