Carmo, Hit the Road
Carmo is a firecracker of a woman struggling to find her place in the world. While her moods range from playful and sexy to self destructive, she always shows underlying heart and a determined soul. Barely dodging the minefield of sleazy thugs who are after her, she is rescued by Marco, an unlikely and unwilling knight in shining armor. She tries to thank him and is immediately intrigued by his disinterest in her. Unaccustomed to men shunning her advances, she does her best to charm him, but Marco is not easily distracted from his mission. Despite his stubbornness and attempts to leave her behind, the two are drawn to one another as they begin an ill-fated road trip. Marco acts as if he can’t wait to get rid of Carmo, but he can’t let her go. Full of gangsters, chases, adventure, and a little love, the story pulls you in and holds on until the end. Comical and scandalous motley crews of characters mix with an array of live-wire cinematic gestures as Murilo Pasta's dazzling filmmaking refuels the classic road-trip genre. His fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants thrill ride through jagged paradise pairs two strangers who find their match and continue to fight destiny tooth and nail. Director Murilo Pasta expected to attend both screenings

Roadtrip movie with a few bumps ..., May 28, 2009
By mnoyes
“This is going to sound odd, but the titles of this film and the opening credits won me over in a heartbeat. They set the mood and the tempo of this film, or at least the mood and tempo that I wanted. The film is a bit like an inexperienced but enthusiastic dancer - what it lacks in highly trained”

This is truly an exciting film!, May 29, 2009
By cknox2001@yahoo.com
“It's a gold saturated, dusty, dirty, Bonnie and Clyde road movie with great comedy and sexy love scenes. Carmo, Hit the Road has it all. A genre-defying good time. Just when you think you know where it's going, things take a turn. Truly inventive and pleasantly surprising. Full of Spanish humor and”

“This is a good road movie, and is quite funny at times, but this film never really 100% captures you.”
