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

First song of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki expected to be out on Rajkumar Hirani’s birthday?

-

Shah Rukh Khan rocked the show in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan. Hence, all eyes are on Dunki, his third and final release of the year. The excitement is tremendous due to SRK’s present track record and his first collaboration with the blockbuster filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. The teaser was released on SRK’s birthday on November 2 and ever since, fans have been eagerly waiting for the next asset. And if sources are to be believed, the wait is about to end very soon.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The first song of Dunki will be out this week. If all goes well, the song will drop on Monday, November 20. The date is significant as it’s the birthday of Rajkumar Hirani. It’ll be interesting as the earlier asset was launched on SRK’s birthday. Hence, launching the song on the much-loved filmmaker’s birthday will be apt.”

The source continued, “There might be a delay of a few days but the plan is on to unveil the first song of Dunki this week.”

When asked what the song is called, another source said, “It is apparently called ‘Loot Toot’.”

Bollywood Hungama was one of the first ones to report that two teasers of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki were passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a ‘U’ certificate. On November 3, we reported that the CBFC had passed four more teasers of the film. Three of them were granted a U/A certificate while one was passed with a ‘U’ certificate. It now remains to be seen when these teasers will be out and whether a trailer for Dunki will also be released.

Besides Shah Rukh Khan, Dunki also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani. It arrives in cinemas on December 21, 2023. It’ll clash with Prabhas-starrer Salaar, which arrives in cinemas on December 22.

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
