Του Νίκου Αρτινού

Το αυτοκίνητο ως αντικείμενο πόθου (η ομορφιά των γραμμών του και οι μηχανολογικές και οι τεχνολογικές του δυνατότητες το καθιστούν λατρευτικό είδωλο) και ως ιδέα (αποπνέει μια ακαταμάχητη αίσθηση ελευθερίας και αντιπροσωπεύει την φυγή και την απόδραση από την άχρωμη καθημερινότητα) λειτουργεί ως φετίχ για το σινεμά.

Φιλοδοξία του να ολοκληρώσει μια τριλογία, την οποία τελικά πέτυχε  με το “Shawn of the Dead” (2004), το “Hot Fuzz” (2007) και το “The World`s End” (2013)...
