Short sentences avoid description. Marguerite Duras reads aloud and Gérard Depardieu is her truck driver. Shots of the two protagonists sitting at a table alternate with shots of the truck cab, where no one is sitting. Occasionally we see a passing landscape. As time passes and it slowly gets darker, Duras and Depardieu begin casually talking about cigarettes… The Truck is a brilliant piece of cinema on how to work intuitively with time, length, pause, text, voice and music. The Truck is often described as a portrait film, here a metaphor for a road that doesn't stumble. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
