Aarcflick

 Czech director Zuzana Kirchnerová's life inspires this road trip film, a lighthearted adventure between mother and son, moving between picturesque landscapes and more complex emotional territories. Zuzana Kirchnerová's road trip film, "Caravan," opens with a series of idyllic vacation scenes. A long shot of a tranquil pool. A beach ball, in close-up, with iridescent sequins inside. Sparkling sunbeams bounce lazily off the pool's surface. A voiceover whispers, "It's going to be okay, David. You'll see." The whispering voice reveals itself as a mother reassuring her son as they lie together in bed under a white sheet. If Terrence Malick directed an advertisement for an Italian vacation home, it would go something like this sequence. However, the idyll is a fleeting mirage.
