Andalucía
Andalucia
In his second feature, the French-Senegalese film maker Alain Gomis
again investigates themes such as identity (or its loss) and the relationship between the individual and society. In Andalucia
the individual is personified by the gangling, much too tall Yacine, a 30-something of Algerian descent. Yacine‘s dreams are
great but not very concrete, and he compares himself to his own detriment with people who have got much more going for them
than he does. Incredibly beautiful leading performance by Samir Guesmi. A playful and poetic quest leads him via all kinds
of strange encounters to an increasingly surrealist world and to Andalusia: a state of mind.
