The Complete 2003 Festival Schedule
French-Algerian sociology student Karim has trouble finding interviewees for his term project, a video documentary on homosexual relationships in Islamic cultures. As his research progresses, he meets smoldering and seductive flight attendant Farid. In Farid, Hakim has a perfect subject... but he comes to admire more than just Farid’s insight. When he learns that some cultures have accepted and encouraged same-sex unions, Karim ultimately begins to face his own desires. Slow-burning and smart, THE ROAD TO LOVE offers a fascinating historical take on the rich history of homosexuality in northern Africa. Set in scenic locales from Paris to Marseilles to Amsterdam, (with a brief detour to Jean Genet’s grave in Larache, Morocco), THE ROAD TO LOVE is a shrewd and sensual tale of enchantment and desire.
THE ROAD TO LOVE; Remi Lange, director; 2001; France; 70 minutes; video (in French with English subtitles)
