Touristes

Wheatly confirms he’s a director worth following. I liked Sightseers better than Kill List, it’s certainly a more gratifying film. It has beautiful visuals, black humour and good and originally used songs. And yet, it still hasn’t been very well received. For me it’s a seven, but I’m rounding up this time for that beautifully cynical ending. But mainly because it’s a one-star better experience than Kill List. (03/04/2013)

A young couple, still relatively young, sets off on a road trip across Britain with a caravan and unclear intentions. She is quite moody, he is peculiar. They are definitely not the type of characters you would fall in love with at first sight. Nevertheless, they somehow get under your skin. It is because of the strange situations that go to the point of absurdity, the selection of songs, and also the intense acting performances, that's the right word. If you like dark humor, you might really like this. Otherwise, probably best to stay away. (13/11/2013)
