A Bela e os Cães

This film had broad international production support including several European countries. Filmed and storied out of Tunisia it's message has broad application to all countries where power and authority bullies & threatens individual rights even so far as terrorizing their citizens. We have institutionalized political & religious brutality in this film as a female college student attending a school party encounters the police. Her quest for justice is hampered by being a liberal female in a conservative country. Kafkaesque, but is there still hope? Despite the verbal/physical battering by police her resoluteness grows, but again perhaps too late. Intelligently written & directed, but it's the acting (often non-verbal) by Mariam Al Ferjan that engages & captures your attention, and worthy of an award.

A young woman is raped by two cops. She wants justice. The result - a terrible night in which cynismus, corruption, buraucracy, cowardies, lies, revenge, noble gestures of an old man, are mixed. A beautiful film for precise verdict about near reality. Powerful, cold, for me , reminding the atmosphere of Romanians films after 1990 year. Short, a film about fears. And about justice, more as noble intention. Admirable the work of Mariam Al Ferjani.

I saw most of it on TV. It's about the struggles of a woman who was abused one night and tries to get justice, but shows how corrupt the system is. And how frightening it is, especially in a poor 3rd world country. It lacks the feminist propaganda nonsense, and it's quite realistic in my opinion. Definitely a must watch for young girls who don't value their own safety and go alone during the night, thinking that nothing can happen to them. And there's TONS of such girls.

I hope I didn't give out too much spoiler/information about the movie

American horror movies are 1/10 crap compared to this. They're worthless.

Second, I heard a lot about this movie, that recently it was nominated to represent Tunisia in Oscar's pre-selection nominees..

Despite some unlikely or unrealistic situations brought on film, it counts as entertainment. The film captures the spectator's attention from start to finish.
