A film so bright, vibrant and immersed in Nouvelle Vague cool that you need sunglasses to watch it, The Drifters follows Koffee, an African migrant and Fanny, a French waitress, two outsiders who meet at language school in London and flee to the west coast in search of their place in the world. A touching and tender romance blossoms, but trouble from the city is hot on their tail.
It’s fun to spend time with this quirky and engaging couple as they slowly fall for each other, while the script provides a poignant and enlightening commentary on today’s issues of immigration, society and identity. Playfully directed, with the attractive young lovers often spontaneously breaking into dance or speaking directly to camera, this entertaining film makes Teignmouth look like the French Riviera and is imbued with a free-wheeling ambience that is the perfect antidote for the pandemic blues.
