Il sentiero azzurro

O último azul is lush and low key. Here is a possible vision of the future where personal choices are removed at a certain age.

Tereza has reached that age as the government has a plan to improve productivity by sending all elderly people over the age of 75 to a special colony.

At the start of the film she has one week before compulsory departure.

What will she do? What would we all do?

Turns out she does have a special thing on her bucket list. Travel is blocked so she needs to find a way. That way turns out to be the blue trail of the title.

The Blue Trail is a gentle satire that allows the story to unfold rather than being force-fed to us.

We are all getting older and it is not too far fetched to think that something like this could happen.

Interesting screenplay. Beautiful photography. Funny scenes. Good soundtrack.

A little over artistic and not the best finale...

Rodrigo Santoro - was it a cameo? His participation in the movie is no longer than 20 minutes.

I enjoyed watching it, but expected a little more. Great acting by the Denise Weinberg.
