THE TRIP

About This Movie

THE TRIP is quite a peculiar road movie that meanders through the stark beauty of Texas, specifically from Marfa to Alpine, with Eileen Myles as a poetic guide. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a leisurely stroll with an old friend, as Myles shares musings on everyday life and the weight of political truths. The atmosphere is raw yet contemplative, inviting viewers to consider the spaces we inhabit and the thoughts we carry. There’s a certain charm in how it captures the essence of the landscape while weaving in the introspective nature of Myles’ reflections, making it stand out in the road movie genre.

The film is relatively obscure, which adds to its appeal for collectors. It has seen limited releases, with only a handful of physical formats available, making it a rare find for those who appreciate indie cinema. Interest is growing among niche collectors, especially those who admire experimental storytelling and poetic narratives.
