Moved from 'The Last Movie You've Seen' thread. 

Exiles (Exils) (2004) - Tony Gatlif

Starring Romain Duris, Lubna Azabal

Having read arsaib4's excellent coments on this film there's not a great deal I can add. I was immediately reminded of Antonioni and his existentialist road movies from the 70's but there is so much more, with a genuine feeling of loss and search for identity. 

Music plays or is played throughout, ranging in style and context dependent on the surroundings. The final climatic scene with its almost primitive beats and rhythms is truly mind blowing. 

A movie that has real depth and soul with some very memorable moments. 

Initially reminiscent of the 70's but bang upto date in every way, highly recommended.

Cheers Trev.

BBFC rated 15.

R2 dvd released by Drakes Avenue, a complete absence of extras as usual.

Another film where I'd love to have had a commentary from the director and leads, Lubna Azabal in particular.
