While we’re here killing each other, Lebanese Actress / Director Nadine Labaki goes on accumulating rave reviews for her movie Caramel as she moves west, becomes “one of ten directors to watch“, and gets shortlisted for the Oscars for foreign movies (although, unfortunately, she didn’t end up being nominated).
If you’re familiar with the website rottentomatoes.com , you’ll know that getting an 80% rating like Caramel did is a very good feat!
Congrats Nadine. Bright spots are becoming harder to find.
Hello, my name is Mustapha and I've been blogging about Lebanese society, business and politics since February 2005.
i have been counting down for MONTHS for the arrival of Caramel here in LA…I believe its coming February 1…Thank you Nadine for giving us hope of a better tomorrow. The news today emanating from Leb was especially painful
