Grand Tour

character's perspective. We see a british officer Edward abandons her fiance molly from the fear of commitment and overburden of responsibility and jumps on a journey across Southeast Asia. He doesn't know where he is heading, what he is seeking, but he knows deep inside that there is no escape from her and she will follow him wherever he goes, and that's what exactly happens as molly follows his trail and tries to look for him through different experiences. Its very abstract romantic story portrayed through beautiful and exotic cinematography as both protagonists travel across different countries meeting different kinds of people and culture along the way. I really loved how he uses black & white for staged setups to give nostalgic touch and some found footage of the modern city landscape which the director himself shot. There is also an effort to show the lives of people in the colonised era, a perspective of occupiers and occupied, in the strange unknown land. How it was and how much it's changed now with huge western influence. It's a great city film, from a broader perspective, it showcases the lives of different people from different cities, mainly capitals of those countries. This is a kind of artistic film which can be very deep and meaningful to specific kinds of people, A wider audience won't understand this, hence you see lower ratings. It's esoteric in nature with its storytelling in the form of docu fiction. This movie is so strange to grapple but beautiful to look at, The film travels across the borders of time and space trying to show a lost era of colonial history with the sense of self discovery. It might be hard to understand the themes and what the director wants to convey, but you will surely be lost in this cinematic world which is very hypnotic. Its journey of self exploration and meaning of love in unknown terrains, just like life when we venture into new phases of life knowing nothing what to expect from it.
