'Alice' Doesn't Live Here Anymore
'Alice' is a genre trifecta: one part revenge drama, one part historical account, one part throwback to Blaxploitation—kinda 'Django' meets 'Roots' meets 'Foxy Brown.'
Omar Gatlato
Omar, a young Algerian civil servant living in Algiers, navigating the monotony of everyday life, masculinity, and romantic fantasies in a society caught between tradition and modernity. A witty yet quietly melancholic portrait of urban Algerian youth, where the gap between dreams and reality is often as absurd as it is painfully familiar.
