Zveme Vás na další akci ze série Middle East Movie Nights!


Film: Caramel (2007).


Introduced and Moderated by: Ebru Akcasu and Michal Láznička (Turkologie, Ústav Blízkého východu a Afriky).


Summary: Is Caramel something sweet or is it also something that inflicts pain? A simple recipe with a few basic ingredients can create an edible treat and function as a depilatory. Caramel can therefore become a symbol of having (at times, unquestioningly) become accustomed to tolerating pain for the sake of conforming to society’s expectations of how and what a woman ought to be. Come join us in exploring how Nadine Labaki’s film interprets Caramel by following the struggles and pleasures of a complex set of female characters whose stories are connected through a Beirut beauty salon.
