Bye Bye Benz Benz is a poignant exploration of nostalgia and change, set against the backdrop of Morocco's evolving taxi landscape. The film follows Kbir, who clings to his vintage Mercedes 240 amidst a government push to scrap older models. It captures this tension beautifully, with a tone that's both melancholic and reflective. You get this real sense of Kbir’s attachment to the car—not just as a vehicle, but as a piece of his life and identity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of quiet reflection among the hustle of the streets. It’s not flashy, but the rawness of Kbir's performance really draws you into his world, making the film feel very personal. Worth noting, it’s a fascinating look at how modernity can displace tradition.
