Hunter S. Thompson wrote: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a ride!’”
In this class, we will explore cinematic journeys as rites of passage, escape, quest, and self-reckoning. From the sun-chased waves of The Endless Summer to the revolutionary awakening of The Motorcycle Diaries, the grief-struck pilgrimage in The Way, and the quiet defiance of The Straight Story, these films transform physical travel into profound inner voyage. Whether by hot-air balloon (Up) or corporate jet turned soul-search (Local Hero), each story asks: What do we leave behind, what do we carry, and who do we become when the map runs out? A celebration of wandering souls on celluloid.
