Eldorado

Belgian actor Bouli Lanners wrote, directed and stars in this road movie about an odd couple. Lonely vintage car dealer Yvan finds Elie, a burglar and junkie breaking in his home. Instead of turning him to police, he decides to drive him to his parents. It's rather depressing look at lonely people seeking a human connection. The film clearly inspired by American road movies in its stunning cinematography of Belgian landscapes that stand in contrast to its anti cinematic cast that looks more like real people than actors. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
