Stretches of vast desert highways, blue skies, motorbikes, a memorable soundtrack and a violent, doom-drenched finale; key iconography that could describe any number of films from the late 60's/early 70's heyday of the New Hollywood, films that were often categorised as anti-conformity, anti-establishment and especially anti-authority. Electra Glide in Blue is a strange and exciting combination of the familiar and the reactionary, a lament in favour of staying true to your moral compass in a world that is constantly forcing you into doing the wrong thing to get ahead.
