In Mary Lou, Eytan Fox (The Bubble, Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger) brings to life a modern fable with a catchy musical message and a story based on the songs of Israeli pop legend Svika Pick. One could think of this film as the Israeli Glee but it is oh so much more than that. Part Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, part Mamma Mia, Mary Lou is a heartfelt story that rises about its sugar coating to tell a story of love, life and being true to yourself…all set to music!

Reminiscent of the work of famous Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarsatomi, Amor Hakkar directs and stars in his latest feature. This is a quiet film about two homosexual Iranian men who illegally cross the border of France to escape the death sentence that inevitably would fall upon them for their love of one another. Skipping preachy dialogue, Hakkar opts instead for lingering shots of expressions that manage to make the film feel visually and emotionally complete.
