4L

A great road movie set in Africa. Two old friends decide to set out to visit a companion they traveled with decades ago who is now apparently dying in Timbuktu. They pick up his his long estranged daughter and set forth. There is adventure and mis-adventure as they pick up an assortment of different characters on the road.

It starts with a heartbeat,waking up your senses..it finaly (and I mean that with all my heart) with a smile and a heartbeat concluding this sahara-desert trip of 3 different characters bonded by either love or even deeper emotions (a real thirst of uncommon life to come, maybe?).

Well,let yourself feel the power of Africa,laugh and get emotional in between France Spain and Tombuctu 😉

The free spirit is there, however, not the realism. A fun watch though. I cannot really understand a sex scene after a week with no shower or teeth brushing mixed with a dirty environment...probably could have done without that.

This film is based on sumptuous landscapes of Saharan Africa, between Morocco and Mali. A wonderful and picturesque road trip aboard an improbable 4L, a mythical French car of the 60s. Otherwise, the film is rather insubstantial with dialogues and characters with little interest, although the subject (i.e. a road trip between friends) is theoretically enticing. As a synthesis: 4 of 10 thanks to the landscapes and the mythical 4L.

Really enjoyed this, it had everything you would wanted in a feel-good road-trip movie.
