		Boys were simply enamoured of him, for, by that instinct which never fails the young, he won their heartfelt devotion by his quick discernment of the weaknesses and proclivities of all the young with whom he ever came in contact.

	TheCritics.org: Movie Review
		The Dubini’s are in absolutely no hurry to reveal the film’s charms, nor are they particularly rushed to bring Hain’s and Petri’s characters to any sense of inevitable fulfillment.
		The beauty of “Journey to Kafiristan” is very much in the journey, just as would be expected from a film and a set of characters with definite literary overtones of the classic order.
		Perhaps “Journey to Kafiristan” requires patience for dramatic fruition, but simply enjoying the ride is pleasant enough reward for any viewer’s attention.

		Kafiristan was a region in the north-east of current Afghanistan.
		It is Persian for "land of the infidels".
		It is probably best not to expect an extraordinarily bouncing history, which in a way is a pity because the true characters must have faced up countless social barriers: it was fiendishly audacious for two women to venture such adventure.

		THE KAFIRS OF KAFIRISTAN The land in the east of the Hindu-Kush range that lies between Pakistan and Afghanistan was called Kafiristan (the land of Kafirs), and there dwelled the Kafirs (the islamic word for pagan) who rejected any conversion to Muslim and followed their own religion.
		The name of Kafiristan was changed to Nuristan which means the land of light.
		Geographically Kafiristan is located in the middle of India and Iran and thus linguistically the group of languages has similarities with the Indo-Aryan and Iranian groups.

		The true-life story of Swiss writer Annemarie Schwarzenbach (a cohort of Thomas Mann’s children Erika and Klaus, played by Jeanette Hain of The Trio) and ethnologist Ella Maillart (played by Nina Petry of Run Lola Run) unfolds along the often-arduous route from Geneva, Switzerland (via the Balkans and Persia) to Kabul, Afghanistan.
		At a time when Europe is preparing for World War II, Annemarie is trying to run away from her addiction to morphine and Ella searches for a tribe of nomads living in the legendary Kafiristan Valley, in hopes that their story will enhance her body of published scholarly works.
		Aside from the stunning cinematography of the Middle East and the (very) sexy Annamarie, JOURNEY TO KAFIRISTAN is a slow story with little insights of the human condition to offer the audience.

		But whatever the case, the trip's purpose is largely overshadowed by the ambiguous romance that develops along the way: a vague advance-and-retreat with Nina Petri's self-reliant Maillart (imagine a cross between Margaret Mead and Sally Bowles) as the demure quarry, and Jeanette Hain's androgynous, heroin-addicted Schwarzenbach as the seducer.
		Shot in a spare documentary style, The Journey to Kafiristan has awe-inspiring vistas and Weimar-era world-weariness to spare.
