Monte Hellman in 2009 Credit: Roberto Serra - Iguana Press/Getty Images Monte Hellman, who has died aged 91, was a writer-director working on Hollywood’s fringes who achieved semi-legendary status among cinephiles, in part due to a filmography consisting almost exclusively of cult items. The most notable of these was Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), an anti-road movie that crystallised American anomie at the moment of Vietnam. Backed by Universal to replicate Easy Rider’s success, the finished feature proved perverse indeed. Its cross-country drag race proposed that speeding could be as enervating as sitting still; the inexperienced leads, the singer-songwriter James Taylor and the Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, gave muted performances.
