The American Love Affair feels like a time capsule, really. Lee Rhoads dives into the romance Los Angeles has with its cars, and you can just feel that nostalgia seep through the unique archival footage. The pacing is casual, almost like a leisurely drive down the Pacific Coast Highway. The film draws you in with those classic 1970s scenes, showcasing not just the cars but the people behind the wheel, their stories intertwined with the concrete jungle. It’s quite fascinating how Rhoads weaves together the transit history of the LA basin, giving context to that car culture. There’s no over-the-top narration, just a laid-back atmosphere that makes it feel like you're chatting with an old friend about the past.
