Le fil

A stereotype-busting coming-out film considering its focus upon gay Arabs in an Islamic country (Tunisia), and they are not anywhere near as subtle as you would expect. It is hard to shake the notion however that their behaviour is more a discreet luxury of the bourgeoisie than typical of Tunisian attitudes in general.

I only watched because I spotted Salim Kechiouche (Le Clan, Mektoub, My Love, Engrenages) on the cast, but came away pleasantly surprised by a very moving and intelligent flick.
