Endless Summer, for dirt
Just saw this excellent film tonight. Even though I’m a street rider and not a big racing spectator, I must say I am amazed. Picture, if you will, 300-plus vehicles of all descriptions, from dirt bikes, to quads, to million-dollar sand buggies, to stock VW Beetles (yes, I said stock) flying across the desert hell-bent-for-election, over all manner of terrain; paved roads, rocks, beaches and choking clouds of silt and dust, all chasing the clock, maybe, just maybe, you might come close to the spectacle of the 1000.This film reminds me a lot of the classic Endless Summer, reflecting the passion of the sport and it’s participants, their dedication to the sport and to their extended families of team members, fellow racers, and even spectators.
Amazing footage, especially of the motorcycle competitors. Excellent interviews and narration. The action footage (yes, even a few crashes) is some of the best I have seen in motor-sports coverage. Great overview of the history of the race (although some more vintage footage would be really cool) and some of the race’s more well-known competitors.
A must see for any off-roader, racing enthusiast, or motor-head.
Deft, Compelling, Engrossing
Not particularly interested in a 1000-mile Baja road race? Don’t worry; doesn’t matter. As he did with “Step Into Liquid,” writer-director Dana Brown hooks you from the get-go, involving you in the subject, the action and, most importantly, the people who participate.Aside from coping with the logistics of producing this film (a remarkable achievement in itself), the lively and sometimes poetic assemblage of breathtaking photography is impressive enough, but Brown (son of legendary documentarian Bruce Brown) takes the endeavor a step beyond; he’s not only a skilled filmmaker, but an excellent reporter, as well. He seeks out and relates the stories behind the action and images by zeroing in on the personalities involved, supplying not only context, but the drama that the added human dimension provides. The passion and commitment of the participants can’t help but grab you, and their camaraderie and sense of personal connection make you feel welcomed as “one of the gang” at a family reunion (even if a little envious of the fun they’re having).
Backed by Nathan Furst’s rousing original score, DUST TO GLORY is, by turns, thrilling, funny, touching, astonishing and terrifying…and always mesmerizing. Regardless of your personal interest – or lack thereof – it’s nigh impossible to resist the enthusiasm behind both the race and the film documenting it. Each, in its own way, is a death-defying feat, and together they provide an experience you’d be hard-pressed to find with many other films. As he’s done before with surfing, and now the Baja road race, Mr. Brown turned my “I wonder why I rented THIS?” to an “I’m SO glad I watched this.” I begin to get the feeling he could make a documentary about basket weaving fascinating. And if he ever makes one, I’ll see it.
