Cavalli has a terrific sense of humor and a droll aesthetic, seemingly drawing from an influential well filled by drops of Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, Sofia Coppola, and the Coen brothers. The Kidnapping Of Arabella also sets a high bar for road trip films: the journey is worthier than the destination, as it should be, but specifically because the film’s journey lives up to every definition of the word on philosophical, comical, and emotional levels.
