Tu mourras à 20 ans

How much does religious interfere in life and death?

This movie does not explain it or give the answers but it gives question to ourselves. Don't wait for death, enjoy every moments, sober or not. Life is everywhere and we need to experience each one of them.

We are spending our whole lives in fear of dying because of all the instability, and by the time it's too late we will realise we forgot to live. The movie looks great and it has its memorable moments - the beginning and ending are both stellar. However, the rest of it was overly leisurely paced and emotionally empty due to the characterization being quite slim.

Synopsis: Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous "coming-of-death" fable. During her son's naming ceremony, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina's child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina's ever-watchful eye, he encounters friends, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan's first Oscar submission, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.

At the first sigh, a story about death. Remembering Old Greek tragedy. In essence, a beautiful, in profound sense, story about life. A boy, the word of a religious leader, the fear of father, the tension defining the life of mother, a love remaining only delicate sketch and the magnificent end. A film so rich in symbols and definitions than is unfair to precise its levels. But, more important, a great example of the force of talent of director. A film from Sudan. Admirable in each of its meanings.

A master scene in every scene . In a country like Sudan religious beliefs symbols the shape of the daily life .. Muzmail was one of many victims of that understanding . The Director Amjad Abualila used that to express the vivid and clear impact of Souffism on most of the people of Sudan . Even the most educated people also believe in Souffism and it's preachers .

The best reality story i have ever seen, it's about Sudanese man suffering from all the main resources in life
