Couscous review

By Cads from Inverness

Couscous

Starring Habib Boufares, Hafsia Herzi, Farida Benkhetache, Abdelhamid Aktouche

Director Abdel Kechiche

Genres Drama, World Cinema

Run time 151 mins Certificate 15

Tedious dialogue, tedious handheld overpanned camera work building up to climax of prolonged tedium in the form of our stupid hero chasing his stolen moped intercut with a repetitive boring belly dance to repetitive boring music.
