A Son 2020

Maghreb cinema is stepping out of the desert wind and taking a place at the forefront of regions making notable films. And Bik Eneich: Un Fils / A Son is a big step in that direction.

The story of a young boy who is hit by a stray bullet and requires an organ donor starts off as a stirring drama, only to evolve into a fascinating study of family, love, and politics that mesh together like different incense fragrances harmonizing into a single aromatic strand.

Like the desert itself, A Son has depth and many layers, though goes on a little too long at the end. #recommend
