“The film never starts. A petrol station planted in the middle of nowhere, a man leaning against a red car, thumbs in his pockets, a sun crushing the ochre plain all the way to the horizon. These are images that look like promises, and everyone writes the rest of the film for themselves. I love these American mirages. The chrome shines brighter than the desert. The grille, the canopy, the two red pumps tell of an era that will not come back. Someone is waiting, or no one is. The beauty of it is that we will never know. Red Chrome Oasis is that stop for no reason, just for the pleasure of being somewhere.”
