The Festival's French Touch closing with the night film Tour
de France, an amiable mismatched-buddy road movie that throws together
veteran acting legend Gerard Depardieu and rapper Sadek in the Immigration
(Migration) theme. Tour de France script writer & director Rachid Djaidani
it is a lively and heavy-handed approach indie road movie. Depardieu rhyming
only among to the lines somewhat running with the hares and hunting with hounds.
It is weirdly exuberant moment in a film that pits the seasoned Gallic star against
a young man from Morocco that has emigrated in France the Paris rapper actor Sadek
plays with conviction and reality. Setting the stage for a culture clash where
la “vieille France & Deep France” bumps
head with the bling-bling generation. With quite a lot of memorable scenes about
la France Profonde, with racism as a central theme racism and deep social
background. Making a media splash and a blast off theme about what means nowadays
to be French. It is a very interesting film almost like «Driving Miss Daisy”.
