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

$ 100 million and abuse: what happens in court against the Kardashian family

-
In Los Angeles, there is an active lawsuit against the Kardashian-Jenner family. Rob Kardashian's ex-lover Blac Chyna has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the star family. The girl claims that Kris and her daughters ruined her television career back in 2017. In 2016, the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians released Rob and Chyna's spin-off about a couple's life. Unfortunately, the lovers broke up a month after the birth of the child, and the show did not continue. According to Chyna, Kris Jenner influenced the closure of reality since Kylie was planning to launch another project at the same time. The 33-year-old influencer believes that Chris defamed her by persuading TV producers. Former stripper-turned-influencer Chyna also accused her ex-boyfriend of domestic violence and non-payment of alimony. In addition, she claims that her son Kris Jenner repeatedly used physical force on her. Rob slandered her on social networks after the breakup, according to the model. In particular, Kardashian posted her intimate pictures and photos of her new boyfriends and wrote about Chyna's addiction to drugs and alcohol. "I want our daughter to know that this is not loving. I don't want Dream to be raised by a mother who does drugs, drinks, and takes men to the house where my child is." Currently, Rob Kardashian does not maintain his pages on social networks. However, in the header of his Instagram account (banned in the Russian Federation), it is indicated that Jenner Communications post the posts. The Kardashian sisters themselves testified at the trial. They stated that Blac Chyna behaved inappropriately and beat their brother. In addition, Rob's mother, Kris, said that Chyna threatened to kill her daughter Kylie during her speech. According to TMZ, Chyna's performance in court was emotional. The girl burst into tears and stated that she did not have a personal bank account and she last filed a tax return several years ago. Since, in parallel with the court, Rob and Chyna decide on custody issues for their daughter (now Kardashian spends six days a week with her), her reputation is extremely important to the model.

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
