Paste's best movies of the year: chlopinions on the immaculate stillness nourishing a father-son relationship in Hit the Road's most moving scene
contains a feast of show-stopping scenes. There’s a kaleidoscopic burst of magical realist father-son bonding, a dramatic collision in a cycling race, a traumatic goodbye played out in a super-wide shot, dancing and singing, a constant stream of visual jokes, an adorable dog…, so a brief catch-up for those who haven’t already seen the film:
It’s this incredibly endearing turn from the then-six-year-old Rayan Sarlak that won the most attention across both the movie’s festival and theatrical runs, and understandably so; formidably adorable, with an astonishing sense of comic timing for one so young, he steals every scene he’s in.The family has arrived at the place where the oldest son is due to meet the contact who will smuggle him across the border.
As father plonks himself down on a rock, son continues to stand, palpating with nervousness. After staring at him for a long time—committing his image to memory, maybe—father gestures with one of his crutches, and insists his son bring him a couple of apples and wash them. He does so, as his father regales him with a metaphorical platitude so knowingly hokey, it elicits a rare smile.
Again and again the patriarch deflects this fear, leading to an amusing interlude where the men seem to lose the thread of the conversation altogether. By that point though, the unspoken message is clear: This is not a burden the father will allow his son to bear.
