Maravilhosos, uma produção a seis mãos (países) aquela

Maravilhosos, uma produção a seis mãos (países) aquela critica social que amamos, banhando em história, uma época triste a tomada do Afeganistão pelos Soviéticos, de denominada Guerra do Afeganistão (1979–1989), e o desfecho, do filme, não poderia ser diferente, a tragédia, a tristeza, a derrota, e o final interrompido, do drama não dito…

Based upon a set of unpublished diaries by

Based upon a set of unpublished diaries by Anwar Hashimi (who delivers a great supporting role in the film) split into a 'pentalogy' - revealed by Google to be "compound literary or narrative work explicitly divided into five parts". 'The Orphanage' is the second part of this planned five-part series. We are invited into the life journey of a a teenager living in Afghanistan named Qodrat, observing moments of their upbringing within a community orphanage. Qadrat is a fan of Bollywood cinema, brilliantly showcased through his moments of daydreaming framed within a musical lens. A prime example encountered early on is his attraction to a girl sitting nearby in the same class, which culminates in a romantic singalong piece featuring colourful attire where they both run into each others arms on a luxurious beach, interspersed with upbeat music and close-up shots of the sun. These sections of musical satire were thoroughly entertaining (a la 'Flight of the Concords') whilst providing added depth as a sincere love letter to Bollywood cinema, alongside the power that film and imagination can provide for nourishing the soul. Palpable tension comes from a set of characters ruling the internal hierarchy by bullying others in the orphanage, running in smart parallel to the backdrop of volatile international politics played out during the course of the film. Its portrayal of the Soviet Union providing Russian language education and childhood pioneer camps within Afghanistan were revealing nuggets of history. It manages to capture honest glimpses of youthful connection, uncertainty and amusement, reminiscent of 'Stand By Me' to a degree - yet manages to retain a unique sense of identity, feeling very much its own piece. Boasting an incredible ability to jump from social realism (akin to the work of Ken Loach) towards surrealist escapism at the drop of a (musical) hat, without feeling forced or trite. The engrossing story-line ratchets up the underlying tension and energy as it progresses onward, resulting in a gripping finale. Various emotions are explored throughout, where even the humorous musical segments are laced with a bittersweet concoction of paradise and pathos. An all-encompassing film from director Sharhbanoo Sadat, which left such a strong impression that I am seeking Sadat's 2016 prequel (and first part of the planned five-series) 'Wolf and Sheep' as a matter of urgency.

Written and directed by black British director Shahrbanoo

Written and directed by black British director Shahrbanoo Sadat, with mostly Danish finance, and showing on MUBI now, this is the second time she has based her film on the unpublished diaries of Anwar Hashimi who grew up in Afghanistan back in the 80s and acts as a sequel/continuation, to her previous Wolf and Sheep in 2016, which centred on a young boy named Qodrat played by Quodratollah Qadiri. He returns here as Qodrat again, now a Bollywood obsessed teenager who's sent to an orphanage after he was caught scalping cinema tickets. There he meets other kids, some he befriends, some were bullies, and these interactions contribute to make up the bulk of the film's somewhat episodic but interwoven narrative that's part historical document and part personal memoir. Neorealistic in style, using amateur actors in the main roles (even Hashimi joins in as the kind-hearted supervisor, called Anwar naturally) and shot on location, the film uses the intimate and sweet stories based on their experiences at the orphanage to reflect and explore their native Afghan culture and the precarious nature of living in a country torn between extreme religious fanatics and Soviet indoctrination. The acting and directing style are purely naturalistic, except for the three fantasy interludes which turn Quodrat's inner emotions into Bollywood musical numbers. While some might find this jarring, others might be more enchanted by this ode to Bollywood cinema – which will in turn determine how one feels about the enigmatic, bittersweet note on which the film ends on. At least, you have to admire its consistency and passion and the film has an irresistible artistic sheen and charm to it. The result is gently illuminating and thoughtful and could conceivably see Sadat and Qadiri be the Truffaut and Doniel of Afghan cinema.
