action
"Et si on allait en Algérie?" How about if we went to Algeria? Zano's (Romain Duris) proposal hits his girlfriend Naïma (Lubna Azabal) completely unexpectedly and at first no longer triggers a startled laughter. A little later, however, the two are already on their way from Paris, almost penniless, to make their way across the Iberian Peninsula to North Africa. The movement has kicked off and it takes just as few words to keep the journey going as it does for its abrupt initial spark. Zano, who lost his parents, two “ pieds-noirs ”, in a car accident on the way to his first Algeria vacation since repatriation, and Naïma, whose father refused to speak Arabic to her, are not looking for explanations, but in exile from everyday life after a personal experience of the foreign country of origin of the parents, of which only painfully healed scars are reminiscent.
backgrounds
- The film also tells the story of Tony Gatlif's return to his homeland 43 years after he left.
Exil is probably the most personal of Tony Gatlif's 14 feature films to date, for which the director wrote the music together with Delphine Mantoulet in addition to the script. His own youth in exile in France were marked by crime and educational institutions. “The film is not based on a particular idea, but on my need to look at my wounds. It took me 43 years to return to the country of my childhood, Algeria. Almost 7,000 km by road, by train, by car, boat and on foot, ”says Gatlif. And the music, of whose healing properties Gatlif is convinced, lies like balm over these wounds: "It is the only true connection between the living and the dead, it conveys joy, pain, melancholy and love on the peaks of feeling."

criticism
Lexicon of international film : “ In the romantic transfiguration of unbound life, the documentary film simplifies, but captivates with suggestive images and a vibrating rhythm that mythically exaggerate people's forlornness. "
