Synopsis: A group of Lebanese women including the bar tender Amale (Labaki) and the mayor's wife Yvonne (Maalouf) try to ease religious tensions between Christians and Muslims in their village.
Review: The movie should have been in orginal Arabic version with German subtitles and I was fond of watching another movie from Lebanon. Some versions when not digital are not easy to get. The plot is simple but really nice. And the different characters of the village are very authentic, in the various situations, large meeting in front of the TV, fight in front of the Mosque or the Church, in the bar with the strip dancers, etc. It is the life in a small village of so-called religious people. There are many images of people or group of people that really look like a documentary or a hidden camera. The reactions are very natural, even when the women decide to play theatre so that the men can calm. Except for Amale (Labaki) and Rabih (Farhat) playing a romance game quite theatrical.  The realisation is very good too. In some sense, it feels even like Magic Realism in some scenes. The statue of Mary and the way the village is cut from the rest of Lebanon. And I am a big fan of Gabriel García Márquez novels.
