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

It’s Been Months Since Johnny Depp And His Girlfriend Joelle Rich Made Their Public Debut

Johnny Depp and his recently disclosed lawyer-turned-girlfriend, Joelle Rich, have been coy about their relationship for several months. Although Rich had no formal role in the movie star's April 11–June 1 defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, he was spotted at the Fairfax County Courthouse in Virginia practically every day of the trial. Back in 2020, Johnny Depp, then 59 years old, was being represented by a London-based attorney who was 37 years old at the time. In spite of the defeat in court, the couple managed to triumph romantically. According to countless photographs taken both inside and outside of the courthouse, Rich, a partner at Schilling's law firm, would accompany the actor who played Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, accompany him into the courtroom, sit directly behind him in the first row, wave to his fans as the day came to a close, exit the premises with him, and even leave in the same vehicle. The photographers also caught Rich leaning in and

Armie Hammer’s Ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, Seems To Have Sought To Collaborate With House Of Effie In Order To Harm Him

It appears that Elizabeth Chambers attempted to collude with House of Effie to take down her estranged husband, Armie Hammer, in a twist that could have been lifted straight from the pages of a suspense book. Effie is a pseudonym used by the woman who created the now-famous Instagram account that was the first to level allegations of sexual misconduct against Hammer. Effie has shared text messages that are said to have been sent by Chambers, which show the founder of Bird Bakery pressuring Chambers to press charges against Hammer so that she can get full custody of their two children, Harper and Ford. Effie, who later accused Hammer of raping her, allegedly told Chambers that she was "feeling a little bit suicidal" and that she didn't have time to talk to Chambers in one of the texts that were shared on her Instagram account. Effie also claimed that she didn't have the opportunity to speak with Chambers. At one time, Chambers allegedly stated, "I truly need custo
