Car Crash  (1995) 
48”, docu-drama
Synopsis
‘David Caesar's documentary Car Crash (1996) considers Australians' obsession with the motorcar and our ambivalence towards motor vehicle accidents. As several interviewees relate their heroic tales about surviving car accidents, it is clear these drivers feel powerless in a society dominated by the constraints of domesticity and work. Cars give these drivers the illusion of power and freedom, and for this they are willing to risk violent death.’
- Catherine Simpson
