The Passenger
La pasajera
2022 · Film · 91 min
Directed by Raúl Cerezo, Fernando González Gómez
Four people traveling in a van run over a lone woman while she is walking in the dark down a country road. After loading her into the vehicle to take her to the nearest hospital, they notice that she is behaving rather strangely. The occupants of the van soon realise that the time has come to fight for their lives, and together they agree on one very simple rule: "do not sit next to her."

It’s definitely his most personal book, he spent many years writing it and it feels like everything he had written before that point was just a prelude to Suttree. It also helps that it’s less unrelentingly bleak than his other work, for instance in the episode of the ‘moonlight melonmounter’. He’s always had an impressive way with words
The Passenger is similar in tone but very different in style. Less of the stylized biblical poetic language and more focus on dialogue and character. Haven’t read the followup yet but I have a feeling things won’t be wrapped up neatly. They never are in McCarthy books
