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.

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri continues to stay in the headlines ever since his blockbuster The Kashmir Files soared at the box office. The filmmaker has maintained that he directed the film in order to bring the issues of Kashmiri Pandits to the spotlight. In a recent interview with a foreign publication, the filmmaker compared making the movie with that of 1993 Steven Spielberg's directorial, Schindler’s List . In the interview, Agnihotri continued to deny the claims that the film had the government of India's support and that the film has encouraged people to vilify Muslims. “It was impossible to make a film about the Kashmiri Hindu genocide,” he told New Yorker. “The reason was terrorism; everybody was scared. But then we decided to do it. People came to my office and hit my manager. I was heckled. So now the government of India has given me security. And this is exactly why people do not make movies on the Kashmiri Hindu genocide, because it is assumed that, if Hindus are i

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s juror declares no one considered her ‘crocodile tears.’

-
One of the jurors who took part in the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard agreed on the condition of anonymity to comment on the sensational trial for the Good Morning America show. The juror spoke on the most resonant topics that excited the public and became the subject of discussion on the network. For example, he shared his opinion about the emotions of Amber Heard, which seemed to many to be too feigned. Much of her story doesn't add up. Most of the jurors thought she was the aggressor. Her crying, her expression, her looks at the jury — we were all very uncomfortable. She answered one question and cried; after two seconds, she became icy. Some of us called it "crocodile tears." The juror said. The meeting participant also noted that Johnny Depp aroused more confidence among the jury. Many jurors ended up finding what he was saying more believable. It just seemed a little more realistic regarding how he answered questions. His emotional state was remarkably st

-
Camila Cabello, 25, has moved on from her breakup with ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes. And it seems that the singer is already ready for a new relationship.

A close friend of the future King of Great Britain told the Daily Mail that William is willing but unable to forgive Harry because of the pain he has brought to Prince Charles and Elizabeth II. "The discord with his brother hit William so hard that he already began to mourn their relationship. So he either mourns that he lost his brother, then he is furious at what Harry did," said the insider. "People don't understand that William, to some extent, became Harry's parent. He was the eldest, always trying to save him from the abyss. He genuinely loves Harry and feels like he's lost the only person who understood their strange life in the palace. But he bel
