When no one cares


Beauty and the Dogs (2017)

Directed by Kaouther Ben Hania this film inspired by real events stars Mariam Al Ferjani and Ghanem Zrelli. When a young woman is raped by two policeman no one wants to take the report.

Dealing with tough subject matter this is a really good look at corruption and rape culture. I loved the long, single camera shots that make up the nine different sequences in the film. There is some impressive acting and direction on show here.

4/5
