DRIVEN (Boston After Dark) Series: LANA CAPLAN

About This Movie

So, 'Driven' from the Boston After Dark series is an intriguing piece. It’s essentially this raw and unfiltered 80-minute ride through the streets of Boston after hours. The whole thing is shot in one continuous take, which gives it a really unique vibe, almost like you’re a passenger in someone’s late-night thoughts. The driver’s narration is quite candid, weaving through personal anecdotes and observations that reflect the city’s nocturnal essence. It captures that eerie yet strangely familiar atmosphere of urban life late at night, making you feel both alone and connected. It’s definitely not a traditional narrative, but that’s what gives it its charm. It’s a bit of an oddity in the collection, standing out in its simplicity and intimate approach.

This film exists as part of a niche series, and it’s relatively scarce in collectors' circles. There are a few different formats available, but the original release seems to be the most sought after, particularly among fans of experimental cinema. Its unique shooting style and personal storytelling make it a curious piece for those interested in urban narratives and raw documentary approaches.
