GASOLINE RAINBOW. The new film from award-winning directors the Ross Brothers, is now streaming exclusively on MUBI.

With high school in the rearview, five teenagers from inland Oregon embark on one last adventure. Piling into a van with a busted tail light, their mission takes them to a place they’ve never been—the Pacific coast, five hundred miles away. Their plan, in full: “Fuck it.” Through desert wilderness, industrial backwaters, and city streets, they connect with outsiders on the fringes and discover their lives will be determined by the trails they blaze themselves. These are forgotten kids from a forgotten town, but they have their freedom and they have each other, hurtling toward an unknowable future — and The Party at the End of the World.

“AMBLING, SHAMBLING TOUR OF CRASHING PARTIES, CRASHING ON AVAILABLE COUCHES, AND RELUCTANTLY CRASHING YOUR WAY INTO MATURITY”

Reimagining the road movie for the next generation, celebrated directorial duo the Ross Brothers make a candid coming-of-age film that runs on free-flowing feeling.

On how the film came to be, the filmmakers said, “The impetus for the film came during lockdown. Facing the precipice of an unknown future, we imagined the cast of Streetwise navigating the wild roads of Easy Rider — restless youth guided by a spirit of freewheeling exploration, shot out of a cannon into the new frontier. A punk rock Wizard of Oz. With a folder of notes and ideas labeled ‘Episodes of Delinquency’ and five first-time actors as our guides, we embarked on a grand adventure. Loosely composed scenarios provided the framework for serendipitous magic.”

Set in Wiley, a fictional small-town, but filmed throughout Portland, Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest, GASOLINE RAINBOW is alive with friendship and the promise of the moment—a Gen-Z Easy Rider that’s also a beautiful reminder of what matters and what’s real.

After traveling abroad to the Venice Film Festival, then back to South By Southwest and many places in between, GASOLINE RAINBOW has made its way home to Portland, where it’s streaming now on MUBI. A destination for world-class arthouse, foreign, and independent cinema, Portland Monthly readers can get a whole month free to watch incredible movies by redeeming here. For a limited time only.

“THIS WILD, VICARIOUS RIDE THROUGH YOUTHFUL ADVENTURE IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH TAKING, FOR YOUR OWN NOSTALGIA AND FOR THE REMINDER THAT THE KIDS ARE INDEED ALRIGHT.”
