Walk the walk, talk the talk

A priest in Copenhagen dies from cancer. Her last wish was, that her husband and their daughter should walk the Camino, to try to find a solution to their problems. The two haven't been speaking for several years.The daughter is not that keen to participate, but ends up giving her father a chance, now that her mother has died. So off they go to Spain to walk and hopefully talk. The calculations are that it should be possible to complete the walk in eleven days. It's clearly awkward for both to be having this intense way of some kind of spiritual learnings.The first half of the walk goes by without any signs of improvement on their relationship. But things gets drasticly changed when the father falls and get a concoction, they now have to stay at a small restaurant for a few days, and suddenly changes the way they communicate and they try to be more truthful to each other.The film is starring two of the absolute best actors in Denmark. The daughter is played by Danica Curcic and the father by Lars Brygmann. So in that sense you, as a viewer, are very well covered. It's an okay film, but two things could've been better. Firstly the conversations should as days go by, have been more deep, the secrets that the two have for each other, could have been more talked about. The second thing is, that the strange "falling-in-love" near the end should certainly not be a part of this film. It feels wrong, and would never have taken place in real life.

A Journey

The El camino de Santiago pilgrimage is a twelve hundred year old tradition and Camino uses it as a backdrop to the story of a Danish father and daughter who decide to make the trek after the death of his wife and her mother.The scenery is spectacular but Jan and Regitze spend most of the journey arguing about mundane things between the two of them and I hoped for a more spiritual outlook, such as the style of the Martin Sheen film The Way, directed by his son, Emilio Estevez.Both movies used a scene with a giant smoking urn swaying from a ceiling at a cathedral. The interior shot is mesmerizing but the Sheen vision is a much deeper one.I will give extra credit for an unexpected ending.

Half way through

I always loved the stories of El Camino, read a lot about it and was fascinated by the stories. But knowing myself, I've knew also that i would quit halfway through.Reading the Shirley Maclein book about her experience doing it, i imagine everything as they show in this movie, a thou Shirley was more descriptive of the pain, the blisters and smells, was also more enticing about the spiritual part, of course for her was past lives.Still made few promises and plans with friends about doing it, but life took me in a different direction.With this movie happened the same, i should have quit halfway, and shouldn't keep waiting for the spiritual awakening.It didn't happen,and the end was so disappointing that i would have regret every penny. But this was a movie and I'm happy that i only wasted minutes.If you like reading, and real stories of real people doing El Camino, read the Shirley Maclein book of the same name.
