Easy Rider (2012)

• Director: James Benning
• Theatrical Release Date:

Synopsis: Revitalized by his recent switch to digital filmmaking, Benning, one of the greats of American experimental cinema, “remakes” Dennis Hopper’s 1969 classic by taking a road trip through the film’s locations. Featuring Benning’s extraordinary eye for composition, snatches of dialogue from the original film, and an all-female soundtrack, the result engages the viewer’s memory of Easy Rider in surprising and provocative ways, questioning the mythology of the American landscape and the 1960s counterculture.
