IL SORPASSO

1962. Vittorio Gassman is the Manic Pixie Dream Boy in this car fiesta. Jean-Louis Trintignant as the stiff. Together an Italian awakening. Their irresponsible homoeroticism is enticing in B&W cinematography still looks stunning today. Also the film makes you think about retrograde sexual politics, i.e. how men dressed before cargo shorts. 

Jon is afraid of fast cars, gets him motion sick.
