My husband is a famously handsome guy, he's rich, and his friend loves my pilaf, he's proud of it, but he hasn't been home for weeks. I have a...

(Written by Zhi Ning on June 2, 2014)     The Saudi film "Wadjda" is a seemingly mild but powerful film. The overall narrative style is warm and soothing with a touch of sadness.

I remember that the father of the male protagonist in "First Love" once said to him that what you want, go and get it yourself. Although the focus of the novel is not here, but this sentence is extremely profound. If you can decide for yourself what you want, then the outcome and whether you can...

Wajda, a girl from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia means the desert of happiness in Arabic. In this desert, men wear white robes and women wear black robes. They are as distinct as the sun and shadows, but they are interdependent. It's just that the more intense and bright the sun is, the darker and...

great! The lines look the same as "Little Shoes", but the theme is different, "Waganda" celebrates the courage to challenge traditional conservative thinking. Waganda as the protagonist is of course a typical example of resistance, and the pair of Lala classmates in the school, Aunt Laila who works...

Although I have seen many Arabic movies before, this is the first time I have seen a Saudi Arabian movie. So far, there is no cinema in Saudi Arabia. The first film to be filmed in Saudi Arabia was Wagada by female director Haifa Mansour in 2012. Of course, she is also the first female film...

Saudi Arabia screened its first film on October 1, 1991, filmed its first-ever film, How Are You, in the summer of 2006, and made its historic debut on June 6, 2009, with its second Saudi Arabian film. The film "My Gift", which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2012, was another...

When it comes to Saudi Arabia, the first impression is money. The film is set on the outskirts of the Saudi capital. Although it looks a bit desolate, it does not prevent them from being rich. This is fully reflected in the decoration of Waganda's home and the American-style kitchen facilities....

Wadjda is the first film to have been entirely filmed within Saudi Arabia, by that country's first female director, no less. It tells the story of Wadjda, a ten-year-old schoolgirl. Like one of the great Italian neorealist films, it centres on a child and a bicycle. All Wadjda wants is a bike so...

The film full of childishness reflects the tragic fate of women. The story is about a little girl in Saudi Arabia who wants to buy a bicycle, but her mother doesn't agree, because women can't ride - or there are no women, so she takes first place in a Quran recitation contest, but in the end When...
