My Own Private Idaho / USA / 1991

Central to relaying the originality of this film is the image of Mike Waters, a street hustler and narcoleptic, either waking up or suddenly falling asleep in some anonymous highway on the Pacific coast. He has been abandoned by his family, and his search for his birth mother (only the most distinct of the film’s many interests) leads him around the world. But as the final shot implicates, Mike is perpetually left asleep on a highway, his mother always inaccessible in either of the two directions he may choose to traverse when he awakes.
