5.0 out of 5 stars El Camino, January 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: El Camino (The Road) (DVD)

This movie was beautifuly filmed, and plays like the classic American road movie. It has violence, police corruption, a love story, suspence, and even comic sequences. This one ends with a twist. Highly recomended.

4.0 out of 5 stars An adventure in the search for the past, October 26, 2002

This review is from: El Camino (The Road) (DVD)

This is an Argentine movie, with a very clear plot. The performances are great and far different from the standard American Movie experience. Although it contains small violence and sex escenes, the main plot is around the feelings of a young man looking for his absent father.

This review is from: El Camino (The Road) (DVD)

From Argentina comes yet another road movie set to the backdrop of the Patagonia. The story begins with Manuel, a young man from the city, leaving the comfy confines of his home in Buenos Aires to look for his father. His search begins by attending a funeral where he gets an idea as to his whereabouts since he was not at the funeral. He sets out on his moto for the road to discovery. Along the way he encounters a couple of young women who are also in search of discovery. One is a singer who leaves her band and the other is a photographer named Carolina. The chemistry between Carolina and Manuel is the catylyst for the adventure to continue. She soon is riding with Manuel and they get in some trouble. Eventually, after various other encounters of people, who will also play into the developing plot, he finds his dads partner who is a sage Indian. The wisdom Manuel learns from El Indio includes various lessons in life. He imparts such wisdom like saying "that a circle should not be left open." Manuel eventually becomes part of a manhunt by the police chief because he has witnessed a murder and Manuel holds the key to revealing the truth. Nothing can stop Manuel in his quest for finding his father even the police on his tail . Although he does not connect physically he learns many life lessons along the way to eventually make a connection. If you are looking for a fast paced movie look elsewhere as this is medium paced foreign movie that is obviously made on a less than a Hollywood caliber budget. A pretty good Spanish language movie but it is less than stellar. If you like road movies than you will probably like it because of the locations, characters and the adventures along the path to discovery.
