Summary: This short movie is meant as a propaganda against fast driving. In 1948 there where no speed limits in Denmark (and only few motor vehicles) but it began to be a problem. The movie tells about a young couple driving on a motorbike to reach the ferry. But death is out after them, as a truck driver on the road. The question is if they will make the ferry, have an appointment with death or both? (imdb)

Awesome! Educational propaganda? Fuck that! A zillion high-speed driving scenes have been filmed since '48 but none so raw and primal. What a thrill-ride this is, the cinematography is luscious, the suspense is sweet even though you know what's going to happen, it's full of unobtrusive symbolism, here's the reason why I worship C. T. Dreyer, packed into 11 minutes.
