Fleur du Désert is a moving biopic that denounces excision (critic)
The top model and actress Liya Kebede is striking in the role of Waris Dirie.
Desert flower returns to television. First advises you this biopic by Waris Dirie, famous for her fight against excision. In his criticism, published in First In 2010, François Cardinali recognized the importance of the theme of Desert flowerwhile regretting an overly agreed staging:
“To retrace the course of Waris Dirie is also to evoke his commitment against the excision practiced in Africa and elsewhere. It is this part of the story that gives his strength to the film, often invaded by Hollywood music. Faced with the top top Model and actress Liya Kebede (seen in Lord of War And State reasons), Timothy Spall still has a flawless one by camping the English and Dandy photographer who discovers the model. Familiar with the world of Mike Leigh, Sally Hawkins, for her part, plays Marilyn, the young embarrassment of Waris Dirie. The opposition between the petulance of one and the gravity of the other gives a real tempo to certain sequences. Emotionally, the business turns round. The rest is more agreed. “
