Movie Rating: Constantin Xenakis

A lost soul goes on holiday with her new boyfriend through the English countrywide in this very black comedy.

To get a away from her nagging, possessive mother, who holds her responsible for the death of her dog – skewered by a knitting needle – Tina goes off in the caravan of her new boyfriend Chris to visit the fields of Yorkshire, with its museums dedicated to pencils and trams of the 1920's. As they enjoy both the thrills of the caravan's bed and walks in the English countryside, Tina discovers that Chris, an eco-freak in search of "freedom", is really a failed writer, a frustrated meathead who hates most people – tourists who litter, teens who play soccer or real writers who have caravans more luxurious than his – whom he doesn't hesitate to knock off to keep the landscape quiet. Under his influence, Tina begins to develop the same tendencies...

Low-budget English production about the neuroses of the modern man and woman, who are irresponsible, incapable of having a normal relationship, childish and "ecologically correct", but especially able to do anything and worse when in search of silence and respect for nature to forget the failures of their boring little lives. The humor of Sightseers is scatological, darkest black, slightly insane – and absolutely hilarious!
