I began watching the road as part of research for the Wish you were here project. Since I already have a vast range of imagination of what could happen, I wasn't sure whether the film would inspire me, though I was mistaken.
The whole landscape had a greatly depressing and bleak aura, constantly showered by cloud with barley any sunlight. The film is full of post apocalyptic ruin and chaos, and some truly horrific visuals and themes, but at its heart it's really a drama about a father and his son.
Food is scarce, bands of armed thugs roam the roads looking to take anything from anyone they come across, and hope is all but nonexistent, while cannibalism is a constant threat.
