Web: https://www.nypl.org/locations/seward-parkAn incestuous triangle formed by two sisters and the man caught between them is the basis for an exploration of romantic myths in the context of a contemporary urban environment. The film juxtaposes the fantasy lives of the characters with the banality of everyday existence. The script is characterized by the self-conscious dialect of the urban pseudo-sophisticate. A range of embarrassingly familiar sentiments are translated to screen.
[The Scenic Route] is a movie of great, grave, tightly controlled visual daring, and you have never seen anything like it before. It never reveals its mysteries... and I never wanted it to.
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
