The opinion of the “World”: why not
Here is long since we had heard from Mahmoud Zemmouri. Actor, including Tchao Pantin (1983) alongside Coluche and director, and as such, farcical chronicler of the painful and embarrassing Franco-Algerian reality ( Take 10,000 bullets and Run was his first feature film in 1981), the artist of the older generation returns to give us an overview in the form of comedy.
Certified Halal says so, as in the days of burlesque, an unfortunate exchange of brides between two arranged marriages, one being native of corn, the other in the Paris suburbs. The first, Sultana, does not want to marry the local potentate which his father intended. The second, Kenza, feminist activist in his city, is downright chloroformed by his brother idiot, Chérif, and sold in Algeria.
By the way, obscurantism, superstition and machismo to take their grade in a spirit that could be compared to that of the Italian comedy or a Jean-Pierre Mocky in France. If general disuse taints, alas, the film, it must nevertheless salute his courage and appropriateness.
