SUMMARY:La Vallée des Fous (Sailing Home): dir Xavier Beauvois (2024)
DESCRIPTION:Jean-Paul is not a bad guy by any means\, but he is going through a rough patch – pp to his ears in debts\, he pulls away from his family and takes refuge in the bottle. But\, inside\, he dreams of adventure; and he projects these fantasies onto the Vendée Globe\, the famous single-handed\, round-the-world yacht race\, an event which he sort-of took part in … by sitting in front of his computer and joining Virtual Regatta (alongside a million other internet users). This time round\, he decides to take the virtual challenge seriously – it does after all have a €150\,000 prize for the winner – and he elects to confine himself to the boat parked in the garden of his restaurant for three whole months. Jean-Paul equips himself with all the gear – wind turbine\, a solar panel\, food rations\, medical supplies – under the dubious but loving eyes of his father and daughter. And then the day of the departure arrives … \nIn French with English subtitles. The film screens as part of the NAAS Film Festival\, a collaboration between several international cultural institutions in the UAE that screens independent films which highlight socially relevant themes.
