- Synopsis:
Klouk (Bernard Crombey) is a car salesman who has to miss a family holiday to deliver a luxury Chevrolet station wagon to his boss' wealthy client. He decides to take his friend Philippe (Xavier Saint-Macary) along with him for the ride across the length of France from Lille to the Cote d'Azur. On the way they give a lift to hitchhiker Charles (Etienne Chicot) who also brings along his friend Daniel (Patrick Bouchitey). A buddy road movie that came together from genuine friendship and developed throughout the months-long script workshop giving the film a casual and naturalistic quality that pre-dates Richard Linklater's similar approaches by some decade, 'Fill 'Er Up with Super' is one of many touching road movie comedies about youth in a line of classics. A meditation on friendship and masculinity, which described it as a precious secret, one which could be likened to a documentary, yet in its more surreal moments retains a freshness larger than life. - Actors:
