Beautiful image that is not afraid to go

Beautiful image that is not afraid to go against some of the mainstream restrictions of the Arab cinematography. Very powerful! Amazing photos.

The German occupation of Tunisia forms the backdrop

The German occupation of Tunisia forms the backdrop for this gritty look at Arab-Jewish relations on a microscopic scale. Two families that live in the same compound try to deal with the harsh realities of war, testing friendships. Excellent, sensitive telling, terrific acting and unrelenting tension made this a most interesting film. The collaboration between the Germans, the French, and the native Arabs, was an aspect of the war that this viewer had been unaware of. No longer.

Really disturbing movie. I was interested in the cultural aspects, learning about what these women had to live through. What I didn't expect was watching all of the graphic physical things -- having to watch each rip of wax when one woman was being made "oriental" for her fiancee -- did we really have to see the whole thing? One shot plus watching her face would have gotten the idea over without subjecting us to the torture she felt she was going through. Bleck!
