ELDORADO

Directed by Bouli Lanners
Belgium, France, 2008

Synopsis

In this absurdist-tragic road movie, Yvan (all-round talent Lanners himself) gives the burglar Elie he catches a lift through surrealist, French-speaking Belgium. Beautiful sketches and camerawork.

Our take

Idiosyncratic, risky, and arty all at once, this comedy from Belgian auteur Bouli Lanners (The Giants) paints a portrait of an out-of-the-ordinary friendship. Fusing absurdism with melancholy while playing with the rules of the American road movie, Eldorado is a poignant look at family bonds.
