Belgium/France/Morocco 117 mins
Three young men have grown up in Morocco living off their wits with petty crime, laughing and drinking a lot. But life cannot remain carefree.
This is an ambitious film, covering issues as widespread as honour killings, revenge, betrayal and religious zealotry. I think it is a good film, but I didn’t really connect with it, finding it difficult to follow the paths the film took. It’s a tricky one – I liked the characters, yet didn’t connect strongly with their journeys. It is certainly very, very dark and not for the faint hearted.
