Voyages Trailers

In the first of the three linked episodes of French writer-director Emmanuel Finkiel’s delicate, poignant Voyages, a bus tour of Poland, by present-day French survivors of the Holocaust, suffers a mishap: en route to Auschwitz from a Jewish cemetery, the bus breaks down. In the second episode, one of them confronts the possibility that her father, long presumed to be among the Six Million, in fact survived; but is he her father?

Reviews
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
davisivor A good idea, poorly executed by a novice director. Would have benefited enormously from some skilled editing and focus. Nice idea but tedious and yet probably worth seeing just for the performance of the brilliant Yiddish actress who plays the Russian emigre to Israel in search of her long lost cousin.
magus-9 Most films about the Holocaust concentrate on its horrors, or the tenacity of those who survived it. VOYAGES is a film about the fragementation of the lives of those who survived, about the smaller (i.e. less dramatic), but maybe more trenchant pain of dislocation, loss and deracination. As a film about the painful inheritance of war and genocide, it is unmatched in my viewing experience; this is a very powerful and affecting piece of work, made even more devastating by the subtle quietude of its voice.
julie-117 A beautiful, slow, careful movie which prefers complicated situations to cliches, and offers us nuances rather than the more typical hammer-over-the-head. Don't expect any Hollywood razzle dazzle - this is European in the best way: quiet, small, and focused. A perplexing and puzzling story which asks us to consider memory as a riddle. Beautiful, beautiful movie.
shaid OK so a film about The Holocaust is important, however it should be also interesting for us to care. This film is not directly about The Holocaust but what affect it had on those who gone through it. It is divided to three parts and none of the parts has something that will raise the film beyond mediocre one.Shame though it could have been better since the material has the potential.
