Preview Screening + Q&A with Nadine Labaki.

Sat 23rd Feb 5.00pm - Cambridge Picturehouse

Lebanon / France, 95 mins, 2007. With Nadine Labaki, Yasmine Al Masri, Joanna Moukarzel

Nadine Labaki's charming debut Caramel is centred in a Beirut beauty salon with four women. Layal has a relationship with a married man, Nisrine doesn't want her fiancé to know she's not a virgin, Rima finds herself drawn to a female client, and salon regular Jamale is worried about getting old... Beautifully photographed in golden tones with excellent performances, Caramel paints a bittersweet portrait of a culture caught between the modern and the traditional and should continue to delight audiences.

Winner, Sebastiane Award, San Sebastian Film Festival 2007
