Driven

Driven (2000), an impressionistic three-minute film about the dazed monotony of driving. This effective little film plays with fluid Taxi Driver-like shots of roads at night, to evoke the dazed state of mind one can get after long working hours. The narrative is conveyed with admirable concision by the actor playing the driver, and the ending invites the viewer’s imagination to run wild.
