Highway 61 (1991)
A road picture: the story of a goof, a coffin, a wild woman and the devil.

The goof is a barber and frustrated trumpet player with no life, no love and no prospects.
With the coffin strapped to the roof of his vintage car, manipulated by the wiles of the anti-heroine our anti-hero finds himself motoring from Thunder Bay to New Orleans along old Highway 61, the thoroughfare made famous in song.
Toronto filmmaker Bruce McDonald brings his gonzo rock 'n' rock style to what is obviously not your conventional love story.
But it is a hell of a wild ride that invokes motorcycle gangs, wacko farmers and Jello Biafra in a strange and wonderful cameo.
An off-beat delight.
