In every sense of the world, Ismael Ferroukhi's Le Grand Voyage, is breathtaking. The film follows father and son, Mohamed Majd and Nicolas Cazale, on what Majd believes is his last opportunity to fulfil his Hajj. Cazale doesn't want to go, he enjoys his life in suburban Paris with his girlfriend, has little to no interest in his religion and speaks no Arabic. His father meanwhile is devout, and speaks only Morrocan Arabic, little French. The journey, taken by car as the father believes that aside from walking or cycling, which he is too old for, brings him closer to God, is necessary beacuse he cannot drive and Cazale is the only member of his family free to take him.
It starts out as a painfully awkward roadtrip through beautiful European scenery but eventually, inevitably, the two begin to bond and by the end of the film you will be left speechless if you have any heart whatsoever.
I am not Islamic and neither are my family but watching this film became almost a spiritual journey for me as well.
Incredible.
