You can’t read the title and not hear the Rose Royce song of the same name. Car Wash is an irreverent comedy, built upon the sounds of disco. A bricolage of characters come to life on the screen, presenting moments that feel both hopeless and hysterical. The first of its kind during the decade, Michael Schultz created a film that would later become a cult classic synonymous with an era of motion and movement.
