Tramontane is in Belgian theaters now.
Tramontane is in theaters across Belgium.
Here, a review and interview in Dutch by the great Orlando Verde.
"Met Tramontane heeft regisseur en scenarist Vatche Boulghoujian op een vergelijkbare manier een portret gemaakt van Libanon, haar geheugen en haar identiteit, lang na het einde van de burgeroorlog. Een opvallend strakke film: “Formeel en klassiek werk is op dit ogenblik zo subversief als het ooit was om punk te zijn”.
"L'excellente direction d'acteurs (on n'a jamais vu Julia Kassar aussi bonne) confère à chaque être une sorte de densité et de solitude granitiques qui les éloigne de la caricature pour les conférer une dignité meurtrie.
... L'une des forces du scenario est que Rabih ne saura pas le fin mot sur ses origines. Il est obligé - sans doute le sommes nous tous - d'accepter que son moi soit lacunaire, interrompu, émietté et à jamais peuplé de zones d'ombres."
A review of Tramontane in the February issue of Positif - Revue mensuelle de cinéma. A profound reading of the film, with the inimitable, brilliant prose of Jean-Christophe Ferrari.
