The Wind Journeys

Columbia

A "road" movie of a different sort. Aging accordion player, with an acolyte in tow, treks through plains and mountains to return the instrument he had been given years ago by his mentor. Along the way they have an assortment of mishaps and adventures.

Slow, studied, episodic. Not much drama. Spectacular scenery. Interesting as anthro. They could have cast better-looking players as leads. Some scenes slid over into silly but when they were over it resumed its steady march to the end.

Worth it.
