(dir: Neil Young/Bernard Shakey & Dean Stockwell, ‘82, 88 min., music: Young & Devo, with Young, Stockwell, Tamblyn, Hopper, Devo & Booji Boy!)
Beyond quirky, Human Highway is a bizarre/sci-fi/black comedy mixing atomic disaster, small town surreality and futuristic totalitarianism--and a cousin to the equally weird, Repo Man. Young asked Devo to write their roles and threw the score into Mothersbaugh’s lap--his first. Veteran actors Russ Tamblyn (Twin Peaks, who choreographed), Dean Stockwell (Paris TX) and Dennis Hopper (Blue Velvet) contributed to the weirdness; plus Devo videos (shot by 2007 JRFF guest Chuck Statler).
