The Mother of All Lies review – pursuing the truth of Morocco’s brutal dictatorship years

-
Asmae El Moudir employs a delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony to brilliantly evoke personal and collective trauma Between those who refuse to remember and those who struggle to forget, a tumultuous clash of minds occupies the centre of Asmae El Moudir’s inventive documentary, a prize-winner at last year’s Cannes film festival. Through a constellation of clay figurines and dollhouse-style miniature sets, most of which were constructed by El Moudir’s father, the director recreates her oppressive childhood in the Sebata district of Casablanca. Under the watchful eyes of her domineering grandmother Zahra, all personal photos are banished from the house, save for a picture of King Hassan II. The delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony brilliantly evokes the personal and collective trauma that stem from Morocco’s “Years of Lead” – a period of state brutality under Hassan II’s dictatorial rule. Lingering on the nimble fingers of El Moudir’s father as he puts t

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever wraps up filming in Puerto Rico

-
The sequel to the Black Panther starring Letitia Wright, has completed its filming process, and now it's time to polish it for its premiere. Now we can breathe a sigh of relief after the filming of Black Panther 2, it shooting, and even a thousand and one issues with its main character, Letitia Wright, has concluded its filming on location in Puerto Rico. The injury of the aforementioned Wright was a real ordeal for the production of the feature film, and the pandemic has not helped the work to develop normally either. However, now all that remains is for Wakanda Forever to go through a post-production process so that it arrives polished and with all the visual effects that the House of Ideas has accustomed us to. If all goes well and no new problems with editing are found, and therefore reshoots and others have to start, Black Panther 2 should be released on November 22. In other words, towards the end of the year, we will be able to see What happened to Wakanda and how this branch is growing inside UCM after the death of Chadwick Bosman The Marvel that's on the way Before this feature film, we will have the Moon Knight series on the Disney+ platform, the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the arrival of Thor: Love and Thunder in theaters. For now, this film has not shown any teaser or trailer and was recently reshooting scenes with Christian Bale, who plays Gorr the Butcher God. Also, remember that it has also been confirmed that Marvel is working on a Nova series or movie. This new cosmic superhero will have a special relationship with Guardians of the Galaxy and with Thor above. Phase 4 and the current universe are on fire without the need to have the original Avengers as a flag.

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd
