Days after jokingly asking when someone will do an american live action adaptation of Kite, I find that Anchor Bay already has.
Areas of transience – the hyperspace of psychogeography – are not ‘non-places’ with ‘non-culture’. They have a uniquely warped kind of culture, in the same way tourist-dependent places do, except some people spend their lives in it (long haul truckers or jet-setting businessmen).
