(aka "Parfum de printemps" or "Zizou" or "Zizou and the Arab Spring")
Directed by Férid Boughedir
France |
Lebanon | Tunisia 2016

Férid Boughedir (Halfaouine, A Summer in La Goulette) charmingly pulls off a lighthearted comedic fable about, of all things, the 2011 Arab Spring uprising in Tunisia. This year we’re treating the Friends of the Film Festival to the sweet story of Zizou, a naive and sincere optimist whose crush on a beautiful girl leads him to become the unwitting face of a revolution. With two years of university under his belt, but very little common sense, Zizou leaves his Saharan village and finds work in the big city of Tunis, installing satellite dishes alongside a colorful cast of characters. The job takes him to every part of the city, introducing him to residents ranging from supporters of the regime and underground rebels to a ravishing beauty being held captive by the mafia. When Zizou decides to attempt a rescue of his beloved, he gets much more than he bargained for, and a case of mistaken identity lands him in the forefront of a national rebellion. This delightful movie will win you over with its bewitching story set against the gorgeous backdrop of a colorful Tunisia as it attempts to become the first true democracy in North Africa. |

NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.
Kino Lorber bring Férid Boughedir's dramedy "Zizou and the Arab
Spring" (aka "Parfum de Printemps") to a single-layered
Blu-ray with a modest bitrate. The 1.85:1 HD image shows some nice
detail, though is a bit pixelated when zoomed in, most likely due to the
film's digital roots (I'm assuming this was shot digitally). The desert
vistas show a wide range of colors, let alone the more vivid city
scenes. Contrast levels are also decent, showing certain details in
nighttime shots and dark interiors, without crushing blacks. Despite the
low bitrate, the film looks fine in motion. |
