Fill Er Up With Super Blu-Ray

Klouk (Bernard Crombey) is a car salesman who has to miss his family vacation to deliver a luxury Chevrolet station wagon to his boss's wealthy customer. He decides to take his friend Philippe (Xavier Saint-Macary) with him on the trip through France, from Lille to the Côte d'Azur. On the way, they pick up hitchhiker Charles (Etienne Chicot), who also brings along his friend Daniel (Patrick Bouchitey). A buddy road movie that came about through genuine friendship and developed during a month-long script workshop, giving the film a relaxed and natural feel that preceded Richard Linklater's similar approach by a decade. Fill 'Er Up is one of many touching road movie comedies about young people in a series of classics. A meditation on friendship and masculinity, it was voted one of the best French films by Time Out Paris, which described it as a precious secret, one that resembles a documentary, but which, in its more surreal moments, retains a freshness that is larger than life.
