Review of In This World (2003) by Laimis Z — 28 Feb 2009
Well, it is an interesting story. I like the idea how the real people and real locations are used to show what exactly had happened. it is hard to travel from afganistan to london as a refugee, but that is not something we already didn't know.
this film is just about that. there is no plot, no real story. I would have rather seen this story shown as a documentary and not as a fiction film. because it was fiction, neither the realistic filming techniques nor the locations made it engaging, and even hard to identify with the characters.
I was actually quite bored and not even moved. sad story ideed, and the whole idea is also very touching, makes one wonder about world globalisation and its effects on middle east and the west. but this is still fiction and that's where it fails.
nice try though. still what a journey. and for what? so that u could get caught and be deported. I guess it's still worth trying, right?
