I can’t remember how I came to see this film, it’s an Israeli-French film, Bar Bahar, 2016, directed by Maisalun Hamud, an Israeli citizen of Palestinian descent, here’s a film about people like her. Three Palestinian girls living in an apartment in Tel Aviv are Leyla (Muna Hawa), a criminal lawyer from a secular Muslim family in Nazareth, Salma (Sanah Jammelie), a DJ and barista from a wealthy Christian family, a pope who holds an elected position in her city, Noor (Shaden Kanbura), a university student studying computer science. It seems that at least two of them have already broken out of the clutches of family and religious traditions, but they are constantly overtaking them. The film, in principle, is not bad and it feels that the author is really deep in the topic and this question is important for her, apparently, it is important and interesting not only for her, since the film was well received by the audience and received several awards, although this is her debut full meter. But what lowered my personal assessment of this film is how primitive these people understand freedom and its manifestations, in the film this is manifested only in obscene parties with guys, alcohol and smoke, and not only cigarettes, in the end there is a well-known powder, as well as in the lesbianism of one of the heroines, this understanding of me, frankly, is depressing, and the heroines are positioned by far not stupid girls, they could also attract something else. Well, as a director, the author still needs to grow, of course.
