This will brighten up your day

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2013)

Its not often i go to the cinema and am both captivated and uplifted from start to finish. The story, the characters, the cast, everything works beautifully, with Driss playing the lead roll to perfection. You can't fail to love that guy, regardless of his faults. The humour translates well and the jokes remain as funny in subtitles as they do in its original language. The fact that this is a true story tops off an already perfect combination. If there were more films like this, the world would be a better place, and the only problem i have now is that I'm always expecting a similar level of entertainment as this at every subsequent visit to the cinema. Other recent films i put on par with this(for varying reasons) are , a royal affair, the hunt, la grande belleza, sound city, searching for sugar man. If you have not seen this film, you are in for a treat.
