Ruta 29

Ruta 29 (1988)

Track 29

Con un título sacado de la letra de un canción “Chattanooga Choo-Choo”, Ruta 29 es la película más rara y atípica del controvertido realizador Nicolas Roeg. La protagonista es Linda Henry, una mujer desequilibrada que vive junto a su marido Henry Henry, un cirujano obsesionado por las maquetas de trenes y con tendencias masoquistas fetichistas. Linda ahoga su triste vida en el alcohol hasta que llega a la ciudad Martin (Gary Oldman), un joven extraño que al que conoce en una hamburguesería y que la retrotae al pasado para cambiar su vida para siempre jamás. Cuando Linda tenía dieciséis años fue violada y como fruto, tuvo un hijo al que dio en adopción. Para Linda, Martin, es una mezcla del hombre que la forzó pero con la edad del hijo que tuvo, cosa que provocará una caída libre en su descenso hacia la locura. .

Track 29 is a 1988 psychological drama film directed by Nicolas Roeg and starring Theresa Russell, Gary Oldman, Colleen Camp, Sandra Bernhard, Seymour Cassel, and Christopher Lloyd. It was produced by George Harrison's HandMade Films with Rick McCallum. The film was nominated for and won a few awards at regional film festivals. The writer, Dennis Potter, adapted his earlier television play, Schmoedipus (1974), changing the setting from London to the United States. It was filmed in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.

Production

Potter adapted the play into a feature film, shifting the location to the USA. The film was originally going to be directed by Joseph Losey for the BBC - the plan was for the movie to premiere on British television but be shown theatrically abroad. Rick McCallum and Kenith Trodd were to produce.

Rick McCallum then produced Castaway with director Nic Roeg and enjoyed the experience so much he suggested Roeg direct Track 29. Roeg responded to the material, electing to shoot Potter's 1982 script. Finance was secured from Handmade Films.

Denis O'Brien of HandMade Films was reportedly very encouraging of the film during shooting but when he saw the final film he was alarmed by the incest plot and demanded cuts. Some cuts were made.
