Get Out of the Car: Dystopia by the Dashboard Light
Thom Andersen's 34-minute sketch of L.A.
Car's title is a command, a corrective to a problem synthesized in Greenberg, when a woman stares at Ben Stiller in disbelief after he says he doesn't have a car, and sneers, "Have you ever driven?" Andersen's ultimate point is that to preserve the city in any meaningful form, Angelenos need to rethink their relationship to their cars. "I would note that a number of iconic Los Angeles artists and writers don't drive — Kenneth Anger, Ray Bradbury, D.J. Waldie," Andersen says.
Get Out of the Car alludes to what they might have seen, and suggests how little of it remains.
