Desert experience

I didn't know what to expect of this movie about a man questionning his life, and loosing himself in Namibia to find answers.But it has captivated me. I was feeling lost with him, and afraid of this giant and wild desert. Then, the atmosphere of this unic place, the human challenge of its experience touched me. It made me want him to go further.And the movie has stayed for a while, what is a really good sign of art well done. Thank you also to Tom Sturridge, who has mad me believed I was in the Namibian desert for a brief moment.

Minimalist Gem

This film is so very much better than its rating here suggests. It is quite minimalist - at its centre is one human being stuck on an empty road junction in the middle of the Namibian desert, waiting for a lift - for many days! The film shows movingly and convincingly what happens to him as time passes. But don't be mislead here - it is not a grim film, quite the opposite; I found it deeply life affirming. Tom Sturridge as the central character is phenomenally good in this and held me spellbound. The cinematography is fabulous and shifts from spectacular landscapes to intimate detail seamlessly and effectively. The soundtrack is odd, often massively orchestral, but felt surprisingly fitting. The centre of the film is bookended by a beginning and an end in 'civilisation' with some very very memorable characters. And the very last scene is simply superb. It is mostly a slow, lingering film, but if that doesn't put you off, it is highly rewarding on many levels.
