Do not miss this joyous film about women using their creative intelligence to put an end to the religious feuds that have destroyed their sons, fathers and husbands. The setting is Lebanon and the Christian and Muslim women are determined to put their grieving to an end. The village is removed from the battle place of the larger cities but the word comes back to the men and the women come up with the most ingenious ways to distract them from killing each other. The most ingenious plan (my favorite) is when they hire a group of gorgeous, sexy Ukranian strippers to distract their men. AND get them high to mellow their revengeful souls. The cooking scenes set to music are luscious and the grieving scene is choreographed like THRILLER (credit to Abe here).
The film is written, directed and starred in by the beautiful Nadine Labaki. This film has a women's touch in all of its creation. Abe said we should get these women to run the world. No disagreement there.Watch how the film is made when you rent the dvd. You will want to thank the heavens for this moment of grace.
Going to rent this. Sounds like a winner. Lately Kathy has not had the films you have mentioned, though. Maybe she can order this!
