Red Sea Gala Theatre by VOX Cinemas Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
With a nod to Thelma and Louise, Moroccan director Yasmine Benkiran follows two women and a young girl with a fixation on witches and human djinns with goats’ hooves as they drive across the desert in a bid for freedom. Zineb (Nisrin Erradi) is a convicted drug dealer who gives her jailers the slip when she learns that Ines, her 11-year-old daughter, might be sent into care. She rescues Ines and then hijacks a truck forcing its mechanic, Asma (Nisrine Benchara), to be their driver. Asma finds being kidnapped is a kind of release from her husband who takes her wages. Benkiran initially keeps the tone light, if not entirely friendly – Zineb has had a rough life but is neither blameless nor especially likeable – before the story takes a darker turn. Queens, an ode to womanhood, liberty and the glories of the Moroccan Atlas, was selected to close Venice Critics’ Week. This film is supported by Red Sea Fund
