As a complement to House of Cars, the Museum explores the parking garage as a location in action films and thrillers of the 1970s, as well as a space of unsettling encounters in contemporary short films and performance.  Ann Hornaday, Washington Post film critic, and Deborah Sorensen, curatorial associate, introduce the films.

Robert Redford meets with “Deep Throat” in the most recognized unknown garage of all time—permanently establishing the underground garage as the go-to location for secret meetings (Alan J. Pakula, 1976, PG, 138 minutes).

Preceded by Odysseus in Ithaca. Peter Rose transforms the everyday experience of driving down a ramp into a fractured and dreamlike journey towards a mysterious end (2006, 5 minutes).
