Review of Eldorado

Eldorado (2008)
6/10
Relatively dull but a love letter to Wallonia
30 April 2023
The beautiful Belgian landscapes, whether the plains (I guess those were shot in Flanders) or the hilly country side of the Ardennes, are clearly the main attraction of this film. It's also rare to see the run-down mostly red brick houses typical to Wallonia in a movie.

When it comes to the plot, there are quirky moments which are worth a chuckle or a fright, but in general this film is rather long-winded, making it boring at a few instances even if it only has a run-time of roughly 80 minutes.

Nonetheless it has its touching moments, especially when both protagonists visit one of them's parents and the end scenes.

But in the end Eldorado is not a film I would recommend, except to people who are fond of Belgium.
