This documentary left me with a greater respect for automotive style and the culture surrounding the VW bus, the freedom it provided, a culture quickly crushed by corporate capitalism and throw-away consumerism. It was not very safe to drive but its functionality and aesthetic beauty were tremendous compensations. I, too, wish I could have experienced a VW bus road trip.
Great fun. Almost makes want to run out and buy a bus. Using the musician really tied the film together.
