French Film Series: Wesh Wesh, What's Up?
Leggett Hall, Rm 537
Wesh wesh, qu’est-ce qui se passé?/Wesh Wesh, what’s up? (Rabah Ameur-Zaimeche, 2002)
In this film, brothers Kamel and Mouss take alternative paths to survive in French society. After Mouss has a run-in with the police, Kamel’s own law-abiding existence is compromised. Focusing on Kamel’s Westernized sister, who is a lawyer, the director explores the gender differences in the expectations of young people of North African descent. The film also foregrounds issues of space, contrasting the confining suburban housing projects with an idyllic natural setting.
Free admission.
