The Wedding Song (Le Chant des Mariées) France, 2008, 84 min, 35mm | French, Arabic, German with English Subtitles Director/Writer: Karin Albou New England Premiere “A seductively fluid and tactile drama…filmed with subtle eroticism and dreamy intimacy" - The New York Times This bold drama set in 1942 Nazi-occupied Tunisia follows the fates of inseparable 16-year-old best friends, Jewish Myriam and Muslim Nour, who find themselves on different sides of the Reich. Writer-director Albou (Le Petite Jerusalem, Cannes winner), who also co-stars as Myriam’s mother, mines her family's own North African Sephardic roots in this taboo-breaking and visually stunning film that maps the intersection of Jewish and Arab cultures and the power and fragility of female sexuality.
