When filming Perfect Road, the crew also spent three months in the RV.

 Three grown men, a car full of photographic equipment, lived in a small RV for three months.For Perfect Road, Danish directors Adam and Christian Bonke and their cameramen followed cyclist Maximilian Schnell through some of Europe's highest mountain passes.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the cousin directors talked about another car besides the RV.Adam described it as like a satellite that can be sent out: when encountering a narrow road that cannot be entered by an RV, just let the car take the camera crew there.Christian remembers the chores that need to be done after work every day. The water tank needs to be filled, the toilet needs to be emptied, and just because the photography work is done, it does not mean that the day is over.

They originally planned to rotate several photographers to share the three-month journey.Later, director of photography Jonatan Mose was kicked out by his girlfriend, but instead offered to shoot for three months. This is perfect for me.“Adam and Christian took turns participating.

The film records Schnell's life of riding around, and also focuses on his choices.The journey brings freedom and adventure, as well as rigorous physical and mental tests; the film crew also experienced these first-hand.Adam said that this trip could not be called a vacation, nor was it particularly comfortable, but it was comfortable enough.Schnell once told them: ”I trade comfort for freedom.“This sentence made Adam feel that what the film wanted to express suddenly became clear.

Looking back on the filming, Christian still misses that time.He said that the scenery in the mountains is very beautiful, and the portraits are surrounded by nature. After meeting Max, they strongly felt how routine, boring and restrictive the traditional life at home was.”We get a brief taste of his lifestyle.%
