   Though the first one written/planned, Highway 61 is the middle film in Canadian indie maverick Bruce McDonald's rock'n'roll road movie trilogy, between Roadkill and Hard Core Logo. Like Roadkill, it's written by Don McKellar who co-stars with Valerie Buhagiar, an unlikely couple that takes Highway 61 from Thunder Bay to New Orleans, stopping at various sites made famous in American music history, to deliver a dead body. Following in their wake is a man who believes himself to be Satan, intent on collecting the corpse's soul. Like Roadkill, Highway 61 is like a shabby Wizard of Oz (or Odyssey, I suppose), a series of encounters with slightly deranged characters and bizarre situations that's somehow about the disappointment of meeting one's icons. And it's funny in a way only quirky Canadian films tend to be. My favorite bit is "Satan" playing bingo. And if that doesn't pique your interest, I don't know what else I can say. 10 years 4 months ago
