"A road comedy of striking originality" - Playboy

Power discord director Bruce McDonald's DVD Road Trilogy is now complete with the DVD debut of Highway 61. Roadkill's Don McKellar (Childstar, Twitch City) and Valerie Buhagiar reunite as a barber and a smuggler running a corpse on the roof of a '63 Ford Galaxy 500 on a one-car funeral procession stretching from Northern Ontario to New Orleans on the only continuous highway between Canada an the U.S.

What unfolds is a white trash odyssey filled with strange roadside distractions played eagerly by the likes of Peter Breck, Jello Biafra and Art Bergmann. If you can't reference any of these people quickly then maybe you should stick to Hope and Crosby road pictures. If you've seen the bookends of this trilogy, Hard Core Logo and Roadkill, then you know that in any McDonald film, the asphalt has a speaking part.
