‘The Last Journey’ Directors Talk Lessons Learned On Road Trip With Elderly Father: “Life Consists Of Many Different Chapters” – Contenders International
An interview with the directors of ‘The Last Journey,’ Sweden's Oscar entry, about lessons learned on a road trip with one helmer’s elderly father.
The movie follows a road trip they organize for Hammar’s elderly father, retired French teacher Lars, taking him back to his favorite holiday destination in the South of France in a bid to reignite his spark for life. The work – touching on such universal themes as aging and the shifting relationships between parents and children over time – has drawn more than 400,000 spectators in Sweden, making it the highest-grossing documentary ever in the country. This aim did not stop the duo from occasionally playing with reality behind the scenes, to reconstruct aspects of France that Hammar’s father held dear.
