Migrant movie brings hopes of French cultural revival: Film about familys couscous dinners wows critics and wins prizes
2007
Overview
The film's director, Abdellatif Kechiche, who grew up on a council estate in Nice with his builder father and Tunisian family, has been compared to Truffaut and the Italian neo-realists. \"He's the major auteur that France has been waiting for,\" announced the culture bible Les Inrockuptibles. \"At last, we've found our Ken Loach,\" announced Paris Match yesterday. Didier Peron, the film critic of Liberation, said: \"This is the great political film we were missing. It both takes your breath away and suddenly makes the air around you easier to breathe.\" The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, served vegetable couscous to the Libyan leader, Muammar Gadafy, in Paris this week. But Sarkozy's likening of troublemakers on immigrant estates to \"scum\" still rankles with France's north African community, including the film's director.
