So, 'Journey to Expo' is this curious documentary from 1999 that really captures a slice of life. It’s about these folks, the Fundos, who open up about their wish to visit Lisbon while they’re making another film. It’s kind of fascinating to see how the city was being portrayed in French media, especially with all the buzz around the EXPO. João Pedro Rodrigues, the director, has a knack for blending personal stories with broader cultural themes. The pacing feels organic, almost like a wander through the streets of Lisbon itself. The atmosphere is a mix of hope and nostalgia, and it’s interesting how the film plays with the contrasts between their dreams and the reality of the city. Not your usual documentary fare, but it’s got a heart.
