We have seen the latest review of Middle Eastern Cinema in Florence. A film that still has no distribution in Italy. A wrong, we add. Here the website for more info . It's called Mouna (but might also be called Maria Abdullah as our hypothetical Italian second-generation), the female character in the film, a divorcee and mother of a teenager: a Palestinian woman excited and optimistic, despite living in the heart the occupied territories, where he lives. The horizon appears to increasingly uncertain. But one day leave this life to go to work in the United States and a change seem possible: if a stranger in his own country must both be true at all. And so, with his son Fadi, decides to leave and to reach her sister by fifteen years already installed in the heart of Illinois. After the joy of being found in the family, Mouna Fadi and try to find their place in this "Amreeka" so long dreamed. But the United States, at war with the "devil" Saddam, will demonstrate a strange concept in hospitality. The shame of working in a fast food, the diversity of the costumes, the real anger and pride of those who live U.S. in contact with its people.
Funny, romantic, hard. Why is the life even of a boy, Fadi Mouna's son, who does not want to have labels: a school will defend their identity when compared with children of American soldiers in war parties. Arabian same race for some, the ' Iraq instead is not Palestine for the other: so much so that the climax of the story the ransom will be provided, if a little' bitter and resigned. In this film good flow the diverse cultures of origin of many immigrants who made America, to the detriment of integration that goes hand in hand with injury.
Dialogues such as these, however, they are dedicated to the Italian Northern League. Between U.S. border police and the immigrant: "Where you from?" - From Palestine, sir .- E 'busy? "(The policeman will tell if she has a job) - Oh yes, the workers, 40 years - (Mouna think the government's prevailing in his country). Final
peaceful melody races not "melting" in a crucible, but the differences.
Rated Good. 8
