La Saison des Hommes
Details
Director: Moufida Tlatli Country: Tunisia/FranceCert: 12 Year: 2000 Length: 123 minsLanguage: Arabic
Synopsis
A graceful, subtle film which probes the oppression and suffering of Tunisian wives and mothers. Confined to the island of Djerba while the men enjoy the freedom to live and work where they will, returning for a month's 'season' to their families, the women merit Tlatli's sensitive plea for understanding, compassion and change.
Critics
A beautifully lucid, compassionate film
The Guardian
Touching, truthful, tasteful
