Movie Reviews of Road to Love
Movie Review: Perfect, Original, Touching and Relevant
Summary: 5 Stars
Dealing frankly yet delicately with the topic of homosexuality in Algeria, this movie is a breath of fresh air. It is original and unique. Using a hand -held camera and filmed as though it is a documentary it is obvious that some parts are scripted. This doesn't detract but in fact adds to the organic narrative that develops through the film.
This movie is not about Gay sex, but is about the full human experience of Gay love. The desire to bond and be to be loved. It almost seems that the movie rejects the idea of anonymous gay sex although is does discuss it. Our 'hero' of the story, Karim seems more interested in finding his mate.
As another reviewer here noted, the story seems autobiographical for some of the characters - using their own names. The acting is incredible and they have a clear understanding of the issues at hand. The scene where Karim first meets Farid, Karim is clearly nervous about Farid's flirtations but also seems to like it. He can't help but blush. This gives a very real feel to the story. When Farid touches his arm, Karim pulls back, but then seems to move back. For any Gay man who has had the attention of a 'straight' man will instantly identify with this.
Thoroughly enjoyable and a welcome addition to Queer cinema. The deleted scenes are especially good. The last deleted scene is particularly touching.
