THE FILM PREMIERED AT THE 2007 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL, IN THE DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT SECTION. IT RAN FOR THE CAM?RA D'OR BECOMING THE MOST INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED AND EXPOSED LEBANESE FILM TO DATE. IT IS THE ONLY LEBANESE FILM THAT DOES NOT TALK ABOUT WAR, BUT IT TALKS ABOUT THE LIVES OF 5 ORDINARY LEBANESE WOMEN TACKLING 'FORBIDDEN LOVE, BINDING TRADITIONS, REPRESSED SEXUALITY, THE STRUGGLE TO ACCEPT THE NATURAL PROCESS OF AGE, AND DUTY VS. DESIRE'. IT IS A FANTASTIC MOVIE AND IT DOES SUCH A GREAT JOB OF EXPOSING PARTS OF OUR CULTURE THAT NOBODY SEES THROUGH THE NEWS. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
