Add to a movie listLooking for Oum Kulthum (À la recherche d'Oum Kalthoum) est un film international sorti en 2017, consacré à la diva égyptienne Oum Kalthoum. Le film est dirigé par Shirin Neshat, en collaboration avec Shoja Azari.
Synopsis
Le film est une évocation de la star de la chanson égyptienne : il n'est en définitive ni une biographie filmée, ni un documentaire. Il raconte les difficultés d'une réalisatrice iranienne, Mitra, sur un projet qui lui tient à cœur : faire un film consacrée à la légende de la chanson égyptienne Oum Kalthoum. Le film explore les luttes, les sacrifices de cette chanteuse, et le prix de son succès, en tant qu'artiste féminine menant fermement sa carrière et s'imposant sur la scène musicale arabe, dans une société dominée par les hommes. Mais il montre aussi les luttes de Mitra, qui sacrifie sa famille à ses projets de réalisatrice, et ses efforts à la recherche de la personnalité de cette femme artiste, devenue un mythe.Actors

The setting is the east shore of the Caspian Sea (modern Turkmenistan) where the Red Army soldier Fyodor Sukhov has been fighting the Civil War in Russian Asia for a number of years. The movie opens with a panoramic shot of a bucolic Russian countryside. Katerina Matveyevna, Sukhov's beloved wife, is standing in a field. Awakening from this daydream, Sukhov is walking through the Central Asian desert – a stark contrast to his homeland. He finds Sayid buried in the sand. Sayid, an austere Central Asian, will come to Sukhov's rescue in sticky situations throughout the movie. Sukhov frees Sayid, and they strike a friendly but reticent relationship. While traveling together they are caught up in a desert fight between a Red Army cavalry unit and Basmachi guerrillas. The cavalry unit commander, Rakhimov, leaves to Sukhov the harem, which was abandoned by the Basmachi leader Abdullah, for temporary protection. He also leaves a young Red Army soldier, Petrukha, to assist Sukhov with the task, and proceeds to pursue the fleeing Abdullah.
