Evocative and Elegiac

'Where Are You Taking Me?' by award winning director Kimi Takesue is a low key observational style documentary that holds our attention from the opening sequence taken from the ideal observational redoubt of a hotel window balcony. The uncensored and unobtrusive view captures the poetry around the rhythm of daily urban life in a large African metropolis. Subsequent sequences are on ground level (or lower). Close and far. Observed and unobserved.

The dialog is minimal. The images are the message. The only real verbal exchange on film is between the film maker and the boy who asks 'Where Are You Taking Me?'

I really loved the sequence of the impromptu gymnasts and the closing encounter with the school children which provide a moving end. They and the movie linger long in the memory.

Amazing Film... Don't miss it.

The title of this documentary tells it all. It's beautiful and it's contemplative and it has something for everyone to experience. Great job... Highly recommended. But you have to be willing to go with the film and let it take you. Once you do, you will be glad you did. The camera work is amazing. The people we are introduced to are amazing. And while the film is quiet, it is definitely stirring and provocative. I was moved many times during this film. I felt like I was there watching everything that was going on. The way the film flows just takes you over. I can't say enough about this film without going overboard. Well done.

Peace.
