Détour

About This Movie

Détour is one of those quirky films that navigates the whimsical and absurd with an effortless charm. The story, revolving around a lost tricycle, takes you through the French countryside in a way that feels both spontaneous and deliberate. It’s interesting how the pacing allows for moments of pure fantasy to emerge from everyday life. The practical effects, though subtle, enhance the surreal quality of the journey. There's a lightness to the performances, especially in the way the family and the tricycle interact with their surroundings. The film captures a sort of carefree innocence, really reflecting on childhood adventure and the magic of unplanned paths. It's distinctive in how it embraces simplicity while making you think about the bigger journey we’re all on.
