Le Grand Voyage dvd 2004 film (France and Morocco) Award-winning film by Ismaël Ferroukhi. Reda, summoned to accompany his father on a pilgrimage to Mecca,
complies reluctantly - as he preparing for his baccalaureat and, even
more important, has a secret love relationship. The trip across Europe
in a broken-down car is also the departure of his father: upon arrival
in Mecca, both Reda and his father are not the characters they were at
the start of the movie. Avoiding the hackneyed theme of the return to
the homeland, the film uses the departure to renew a connection between
two generations. Stars Nicolas Cazaléand Mohamad Majd. Unrated (rated PG in the UK), 108 minutes. Mainly in French and Arabic, but also some Bulgarian, English, Serbian, Italian and Turkish - with English subtitles.
