The Superb Trip (1974)
Directed by Gerard Vergez
Overview
Argenteuil, July 1973. Five unstable, insecure buddies pass the boredom by pilfering in the stores and revving up their motorcycles. On the eve of July 14th, during a trip to Bastille, a motorcycle paradise, one of them, Roger, gets into a fight with a policeman and is wounded. While fleeing, he meets a young “runaway” who helps him escape the search and rejoin Anne, “his wife”. Despite a rather incredible maneuver, the two boys break into an apartment and kidnap the occupants. Anne and Roger don’t manage to reach each other “discreetly”, and the adventure ends stupidly: surrounded by the police, Roger makes a false move and throws the motorcycle into the ditch. When they get out of hospital or prison, life starts all over again.
