Abdallah Mesbahi · 1973
Synopsis
According to the summary taken up by Africultures and the press material for the French release, the film illustrates the conflict of generations through the drama of a boy who refuses to lead an existence like that of his parents. The singer Abdelhadi Belkhayat plays the lead, opposite Aïcha Sajid, and the story, which the blog Assaiss judges to be told at face value and acted with great naivety, serves as the thread for a montage of famous songs.
Context
Africultures credits the filmmaker with the dialogue, the direction and the production, and shares the screenplay between Belkhayat and other collaborators, whereas Friends of Morocco and Cinéfiches also attribute the writing to him. The blog Assaiss sees in this film the emblematic title of an openly commercial current, inspired by the Egyptian model, which Mesbahi launched against the auteurs who dominated the decade, a current that remained a minority. Larbi Doghmi and Mohamed El Khalfi are in the cast. The film was released in France on 4 May 1977, according to Cinéfiches, which gives its visa.
Who it is for
A musical feature film in colour, shot on 35 mm, an hour and a half long; no video copy is known.
Prizes and reception
First film role of Mustapha Zaari, a stage actor whose career lasted more than fifty years, according to Yabiladi.
