CARAMEL HAS SET A BENCHMARK FOR ARABIC MOVIES AS IT WAS POSSIBLY
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MOVIES FROM THE ARAB WORLD IN HISTORY. THE
FILM PREMIERED AT THE 2007 CANNES  FILM FESTIVAL, IN THE DIRECTORS'
FORTNIGHT SECTION. IT RAN FOR THE CAMéRA 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.
