Review of Le harem de Mme Osmane

A film of women , seductive, first, for admirable job of Carmen Maura. A film about family, women universe, save of apparences, respectability, love and death. Simple and touching story, great portraits and few crumbs reminding Luchino Visconti cinematography. Not surprising because it represents a portrait of a world fall.

Algeria, beginning of war, a delicate- powerful love story and a coffin.

And an energetic woman looking for fair measure.

Drops of humor, large circles of bitterness.
