Chris is back out on the road, in the spirit of ‘Radio On’, but this time the journey is endless, space-and-time warping through the universal condition of off-highway entropy in the general direction of Poland. Nothing left of cultural memory but performed autobiographical fragments,  small confessions, and a satchel of postcards (like Godard’s ‘Les Carabiniers’). This time the camera has been passed to Emma Matthews, the film’s editor, and the director becomes pure voice. Perhaps reclaiming his melancholy-poetic Irish ancestry from Samuel Beckett. The interrogation of technology, actual and faked (better than real), continues a pace (walking pace). I think this project has found its own time very successfully.
