4 latas

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.

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 😉

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

A very charming film with a multicultural cast, each adding his own talent to a sensitive and sometimes comic story. Light and well written, it takes us on a transaarinen journey, that offers a visually interesting glimpse of deep Africa (from Tangiers/Morocco to Timbuktu/Mali) on board of a french iconic car: the Renault 4L, best known in France as "catrelle". Also a self-discovery journey, as the relationship among the characters and with the challenges of the desert unfold.

Nice way to pass an evening. Plot isn't rock science, but well made and the characters are plausibly good and likeable.
