⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

500 Minutes of Summer: A cyclist and a prostitute discover an unknown perfection in the hands of affection and the smiles of each other.

👍African Queen:
Inspired and illuminating, ominous and unsettling, Koen Mortier delivers an astonishing vision of love, loss and loneliness. Fatou N'Diaye and Vincent Rottiers are phenomenal as their new love teeters between salvation and self-destruction.

👎Agony unseen:
The film sheds some much-needed light on the plight of workers in sex tourism.
And no one will be left thrilled to take up professional cycling, in what is 'Leaving Las Vegas' meets 'The Armstrong Lie'.
The movie is loosely based on the ill-fated life of the Belgian cyclist Frank Vandenbroucke.

🥇Best quote:
"I'd rather consider myself a gazelle.
I feel lighter as a gazelle."

🙁Best depressing quote:
"I've often thought: 'Is this the end?'
Once you've lost everything, you're left with nothing but your body.
It's your one and only possession.
My body is who I am, more than my spirit or anything else."

🤔Best reality check:
"Do you know who I am? The Euro Disney hotels know Thierry Brasfort!"
"Mickey Mouse probably knows all of high society, but you're in Senegal now, not a theme park."
