39/81 Which Way to CA?

About This Movie

39/81 Which Way to CA? is this curious piece that meanders along the journey of Kren from Vermont to California. The film's tone has this almost whimsical feel, like a road trip with no real destination in mind. Kren’s various cars sort of become characters in their own right, representing change and transition, which gives it a unique layer. Performance-wise, it feels very much like a personal exploration rather than a conventional narrative, inviting you to get lost alongside Kren. The pacing is a little languid, but that’s part of its charm, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. It’s not polished, but that rawness gives it an authenticity that’s hard to replicate.

This film is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, mainly due to its obscurity and the fact that the director is unknown, which adds to its allure. It has seen limited releases and not much in the way of restoration, making original formats quite sought after. Collectors often appreciate its unconventional narrative style and the way it captures a specific moment in time—both in cars and film. The lack of mainstream attention means it's a hidden gem for those interested in offbeat road movies.
