On this episode of arts24, Eve Jackson speaks to Moroccan filmmaker Maryam Touzani, whose intimate and quietly highly effective cinema continues to discover love, id and the tensions inside Moroccan society. After “Adam” and “The Blue Caftan”, she returns along with her most private movie but, “Calle Málaga” – a narrative of reminiscence, blended id and belonging set in Tangier’s historic Spanish neighborhood. At a time when debates round migration and id really feel more and more polarised, Touzani brings the dialog again to one thing deeply human. The movie can also be a young and uncommon meditation on ageing and need – celebrating vitality, intimacy and dignity later in life in methods cinema seldom dares to painting.
