Wadjda at Ritzy Cinema
Overview
To shoot a film on location in a country where cinemas themselves have been banned for over 30 years is some kind achievement for any director. When that filmmaker also happens to be a woman, in a country where it is illegal for women to drive let alone direct, makes Haifaa Al Mansour’s accomplishment with her debut feature Wadjda all the more impressive. Al Mansour’s story of a precocious young Saudi girl from a lower-middle-class family in capital city Riyadh is a beautifully-made, heartfelt gem.
