Caramel

Nadine Labati Lebanon 2007 95 minutes (PG)

The first film set in Beirut not to mention the conflict. The city is re-humanised through a group of beauticians maintaining appearances. Playful, witty, poignant and resigned. The title refers to caramel’s depilatory use.

“A lovely film.” Time Out.

“Communicates a tremendous sense of warmth.” Independent.
