https://doi.org/10.69975/2074-0832-2025-60-1-56-68
Abstract
The article makes an attempt to consider various types of representation of the road in the context of the development of the history of cinema, to determine its place both in the metaphorical aspect and from the point of view of the formation of genre features, primarily such genres as road movie and buddy cinema. In the final part of the article, the author comes to the conclusion that road films, having rejected the commercial adventure potential, adapted the techniques of slow cinema, used it to create false movement and discovered the ability to reflect on man in eternity.
