Watched Goodbye Solo this weekend a movie that does an in depth examination two characters unlikely relationship. There's Solo, a Senegalese immigrant taxi driver, with a never ending sense innocent curiosity and contentment that leaves his smiling at all times, and Red, the weathered old man, who just wants to be left alone. But Solo's nature will not allow it, as the progression of their relationship and Solo's effervescent personality keeps you intently watching and taking in his unique manner
But Solo wants to know more, and wants to be involved more, with this stranger, and that's what makes this movie so intriguing to me is because of the social questions it makes us ask ourselves about life and our interactions with others.
I saw Bahrani's Man Push Cart and it has the same knack to draw intrigue from a viewer to watch and see real life unfold. It's not overdone with fantastical scores, complex shots, but effective in its realistic point of view. It leaves me feeling like a fly on the wall, free to observe, and that's how I enjoy to live.
Below is the link to Goodbye Solo the movie and an interview with Bahrani, Souleymane Sy Savane(Solo), and Red West(Red) on Charlie Rose. Enjoy! P.L.P!
