In this Czech road movie two bored friends by a cheap car, leave Prague, and spend the summer touring the countryside. Along the way, Radek and Frank pick up a hitchhiker, Anne, who has just run away from her dominating, jealous lover. Although Anne comes across a poor lost waif at first, her own strong personality soon comes out. She is into playing mind games, as Radek, who tries to hit on her, soon discovers. She in turn, makes a play for Frank who remains indifferent to her.

The Ride (1994)
Mercifully less obscure - and indeed less ambitious - than Sverák's previous Accumulator 1, this is a good-looking road movie in which two friends buy a second-hand car (from a shady dealer, natch), drive out into the country, and give a lift to strange, distracted woman whose presence fuels tensions between the two men. Snappily edited and consummately stylish, it's nevertheless a somewhat hollow, formula affair, interesting more for what it shows of the current mindset of the Czech Republic than for any inherent drama.
The Ride (1994)
The film is about two guys buying one used car and then customizing it properly for traveling in pleasure as planned. Later on the road, they meet one girl and pick her up, without any previous knowledge of her. Maybe, it is just a fun of life with this female stranger as companion. However, there is yet another man, apparently her lover, driving his car to follow her. But, he can't catch her because two guys have some luck, during escape. Nobody knows what is going on, in the past, between this girl and that man. Moreover, she is not willing to tell those two men about her life, when asked. As time goes by, friendship between two men and one girl blossoms. Finally, the audience will see the unexpected ending.

The plot is simple, but attention-riveting. All the situations among two guys and one girl, along the road, are really funny. The scenes of rolling a tire down the hill and that girl peeing beside the car are nice. Landscape in this film is visually beautiful since suburban vista in Czech countryside is totally divine and magnificently photographed. Soundtrack is also splendid. Most importantly, all three protagonists are a joy to watch and undoubtedly charming, although relatively unknown to worldwide. And you can't predict how the story ends, for sure.
Do not miss this film, if you have your chance.IMDB Reviewer
