Fill 'Er Up with Super (Limited Edition Blu-ray)

Klouk (Bernard Crombey) is a car salesman who has to miss a family holiday to deliver a luxury Chevrolet station wagon to his boss' wealthy client. He decides to take his friend Philippe (Xavier Saint-Macary) along with him for the ride across the length of France from Lille to the Cote d'Azur. On the way they give a lift to hitchhiker Charles (Etienne Chicot) who also brings along his friend Daniel (Patrick Bouchitey).

Fill 'Er Up with Super is a buddy road movie that came together from genuine friendship developed throughout the months-long script workshop, giving the film a casual and naturalistic quality that pre-dates Richard Linklater's similar approaches by some decades. A meditation on friendship and masculinity, this was one of the last films Alain Cavalier made before entering a more experimental phase of filmmaking, but prefigures his later breaking down of barriers between fiction and documentary barriers with its freewheeling approach.
