AssalamoAlaikom,“Whatever LOLA wants” is a new film by Nabil Ayouch out in France last WednesdayThe director and producer Nabil Ayouch casts what its said to be a loving eye over the glorious art of oriental dance and those who practice it. They also said this film reflects a sentimental, East-meets-West comedy. In brief it’s a story of a New York postal worker who went to Egypt to take belly dancing lessons from a legendary instructor. I read about the film and I think its all about love, romance, belly dancing …… Don’t we Arabs ‘ve a valuable things to show the west rather than dancing, singing and showing the navels and curves of of sisters…??? Don’t we ‘ve a rich history, a refined culture and exciting traditions to be proud of??? What is the point of making such films??? At the time when almost all Arab countries are enduring the unbearable (food crises, illiteracy, jobless, poverty, criminality, etc…) our writers, producers and directors are busy to look for short cuts to make lots of money…. We want these film makers to contribute finding solutions to our grinding povrity, to find ways to fight with bureaucracy and injustice…..I would like to know your opinions about this topic Thank you very much//en.yabiladi.com/topics/whatever-lola-wants-44-2462483-2462483.html#msg-2462483 Sat, 06 Jun 2026 18:44:38 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
