WADJDA (PG)
Saudi Arabia/Germany 2012. 97 minutes
Directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour and starring Waad Mohammed, Reem Abdullah, Abdullrahman Al Gohani and Ahd, it is first film to be shot entirely in Saudi Arabia, a country with no cinemas. A winning tale about an enterprising and playful girl. Wadjda is determined to buy a bicycle and refuses to be cowed by male-dominated society or religious doctrine. Humane and insightful, with a captivating heroine.
‘Enjoyable and heartfelt tale which combines elements of exhilarating comedy and tense drama’. Rebecca Ellis in Little White Lies. In Arabic with English subtitles.
