Review of Kandahar

Kandahar (2001)
6/10
A woman's journey to Kandahar
15 October 2001
'Safar e Ghandehar' is a partly documentary movie telling the journey of a woman throughout Afganistan trying to reach Kandahar where her sister, she still hopes, lives. She records anything she happens to listen so that you feel the horror and the difficulties of life in that country and everything through the main character's voice. In a way it sounds even more terrible. Every time she stops she finds a new guide (being a woman traveling across Afganistan is even more difficult)and this guide helps her to understand aspects of that reality: at the very beginning a man who accepts to declare she is one of his wives and then she knows the others; then a young boy, son of a widow, who has been thrown out of a Korean school; then a self made doctor coming from America, and so on. A spectacle even surreal someway and very impressive. Worth to see.
