Promising young Tunisian woman

[MiguelAReina · 9/10 · 5 February 2021]

With references to "Dressed to kill" (Brian De Palma, 1980) or "Ms. 45" (Abel Ferrara, 1981), and with a clear parallel with "Promising young woman" (Emerald Fennell, 2020), this revenge story shot in black and white exposes the situation of women in Tunisia through an intelligent exercise of film noir that does not try to make a psychological portrait, but rather to expose a character who responds to sexist violence with physical violence. It is one of the virtues of a film that introduces new codes in Arab cinema.
