This is a heartbreakingly beautiful film written and directed by Miguel Gomes, who won best director at Cannes in 2024. It is the latest of the Portuguese filmmaker’s highly acclaimed movies known for pushing cinematic boundaries. Grand Tour combines two linked stories taking place in 1917 Rangoon, under British rule. In the first half, Englishman Edward awaits the arrival of his fiancée, Molly, but gets cold feet and runs away. His running takes him to Burma, Vietnam, China, the Philippines and Japan. He is a world-class runner. But Molly is a world-class pursuer and follows him every step of the way in the second half, her story. The movie is innocent and playful and sad, and says something profound about the dreams which keep us alive. Portugal 2024 (129 minutes)
