So, here is my review of Tunisian film, Halfaouine: Boy of the Terraces (1990, Arabic title: عصفور سطح – roughly translated “Rooftop Bird”), directed by Ferid Boughedir.
Another post on my film blog, and another commentary on Dusan Makavejev's 1981 film Montenegro, or Pigs and Pearls.
Film can also be viewed on Hulu, for free. Enjoy!
