Kilomètre Zéro uses a journey as a setting for forced companionship as well as movement. The assignment introduced in the Cannes record exposes the characters’ positions towards one another under wartime conditions. Sharing a vehicle does not mean sharing experiences or viewpoints.
Watch how conversation, silence and changing locations affect the relationship. Consider dark humour as a narrative choice that reveals contradictions within a severe political setting. My Sweet Pepper Land continues through another of Saleem’s stories between personal freedom and local power.
