Voie rapide

The passion for cars and speed absorbs Alex’s life, pulling him away from his companion Rachel and their daughter. When driving his yellow car on the freeway, Alex accidentaly runs over a young man and runs. As guilt grows inside him, he is unable to forget the incident. Christophe Sahr’s first feature, Voie Rapide is definitely one of the great surprises of French filmmaking today, operating a well sustained narrative and a confident dominion of images that sometimes wink at Cronenberg and his film Crash.
