      Sacrifice of the poor

      Dounia watched the imam leading the congregation to pray outside the mosque, but she did not go in.

      How Dounia came to France, did not explain. It should be to follow her mother, as a beneficiary of the refugee policy, from a poor hometown to France to seek refuge with her aunt. She has been here for a few years, but she didn't explain it. But if you guess from her fluent French, it shouldn't be short.

      Dounia's best friend is the daughter of a local imam, a fat black girl named...

      It's all luck

      The heroine's setting is simple and rude

      From the first dispute with the teacher, she portrayed her ambition. She despised the teacher for taking the only little salary and survived carefully (it seemed to be aimed at me, and the heartache couldn't breathe ( ・᷄ὢ・᷅ ) )

      She despised that people like this could never make big money. Of course, there are too many qualities needed to make money, courage, guts, perseverance, determination, and even ruthlessness. The heroine has the...

      "Goddess": The youth that grows savagely always has to pay the price

      1 The
      bottom life is not easy to describe, and it is easy to fail to explain the real situation clearly, but to expose yourself.

      This is mainly related to the location of the recorder. Life is so fucking. It is difficult for people who have not experienced it to capture the details of life in the eyes of people at the bottom.

      Originally, I wanted to show the suffering of the people, but I accidentally made a private visit to the emperor's microservices. I thought I was...

      We are our own female nerves

      Divines is a film directed by Yoda Benyamina and starring Oulaya Amamra and Déborah Lukumuena.

      That's what friends look like

      When I finished watching the movie, I asked friends that the movie had a particularly complex emotion. All the words in my mind can't be explained. Sadness, friendship, rebellion, youth, madness, crime,...

      The elves are made in the flames

      Dounia was born in a single-parent family environment in a refugee camp, full of youth rebellion, longing for freedom and success, began to sell drugs, shared joy with friends, and met love.
      After the first setback, Dounia's uninhibited smile was less and she became more proficient in drug trafficking. With Mozart's Requiem, she fell into the abyss like a dream. The girl realized her desire to make a lot of money, but finally paid the price.
      "I will always catch you who fell here...

      Made by female gangsters. While paying attention to such people, the director poured too much sympathy into them. It is not society, but the family and themselves, that decides them to commit crimes. Criminal factors are often...

      The performances of the two little girls and the final ending of the movie are great - innocence, freedom, rebelliousness, middle school, and the beginning of love finally ended with the parting of best friends, but the chaotic refugee life did not see the end... Sad! PS: The driving part of the brain hole is very wonderful and the deepest...

      Unlike the usual refined and romantic French films, this one has a rather unique vibe and "dirty" vibe, realistically showing the life of a French ghetto girl from another perspective, and after a promising plot, the director Still designed a very tragic ending, but also very reasonable. As a debut novel, it is too powerful, not only in the control of the story, but also in the combination of sound and...

    Evaluation action

    The first half is full of the hysteria in the French drama, the second half is full of breath, the second half of the story becomes more complex and deeper, the rhythm is tight, there is tension and the feeling is abundant, the interspersed dream love also ends without a problem, making the script Stand out in similar themes.
    After all, the goddess is not born with the bubble in the holy light, but crawls in the mud and darkness. Even...
