Reviews for Exils
worth checking out for cultural illumination and for its striking musical score
A vibrant, luscious travelogue that will have you gladly surrendering to its offbeat rhythm. . . . a road movie stripped to its existential core.
Overall, pic works well as a road movie, swinging and easy for the most part but gaining a certain gravitas in its later stretches.
Through facial expression, gesture and deed, Gatlif manages to coax such a deep humanity out of his characters' situations that dialogue becomes superfluous.
The central performances, by Duris and Azabal, are as uneven as the journey they take.
We don't get much in the way of witty dialogue or character development, but the choice shots of clammy skin, tousled hair, odd scars and bad weather evoke an engaging story just the same.
The primordial pleasures are at least a little less ephemeral with Gatlif around
