Falafel

Directed by Michel Kammoun

FALAFEL offers a stylish yet nightmarish quest through the nocturnal mean streets of Beirut. Toufic (Mitri) heads for a party to meet Yasmin (Rached). But an unexpected encounter sends him into the night with revenge in mind. His friends follow in (comic) pursuit. Kammoun’s entertaining feature début reveals how years after the Civil War, life in Lebanon is still far from normal.
