Travel Movie Watch: ‘Road, Movie’

Travel Blog  •  Eva Holland  •  09.18.09 | 3:08 PM ET

The Indian flick, which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend, follows a young man as he attempts to escape the family business, traveling Rajasthan in an old truck loaded with film projectors and movie reels. To judge by the trailer, it’s going to be a good one:

There’s no word on North American distribution plans beyond TIFF, but if “Road, Movie” makes a splash at the festival—and assuming last year’s “Slumdog Millionaire” explosion has left plenty of viewers wanting another taste of India—I’d bet it will turn up in select theaters before Christmas.

If this seems like a trailer that interests you,
then you must watch the Brazilian film.
“Cinema, Aspirinas e Urubus”
Guy, truck, movies, travel, romance, trouble.
Great film, not widely seen outside of Brazil.

Yup. I’ll be seeing this flick this afternoon. Can’t wait. But, sadly, it will be my last film of the festival.

Ah, but there’s always the post-festival party to look forward to.

I’ll review this film and the 23 others I have seen in my blog on Tuesday:http://solotravelerblog.com

Oooh, this really does look good. Sadly, I’m missing TIFF this year. sniff*sniff* But I’ll look for it elsewhere.

I’m one of those Slumdog fans who would love to see more India-based movies.  This one looks like a winner with mass appeal.
