Claudio C @Claudio666 6d Marock (2005) Tragic Teenage Romance (12,583 – 22 Jul 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) In 1997, in Casablanca, the free spirit Muslin Rita (Morjana Alaoui) is preparing for the University entrance exam in Paris since her family is wealthy. When she sees the Jewish Youri (Matthieu Boujenah), who loves to speed his car, she has a crush on him and soon he falls for her. But her brother Mao (Assaad Bouab) returns from London turned into a fundamentalist and will do anything to keep her sister far from Youri. "Marock" (2005) is a tragic teenage romance with a common theme: love between Muslin and Jewish. However, the shallow story does not engage the viewer and the conclusion is too cold. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): "Marock" See more 10/09/2008 This film was billed to me as 'Jewish Romeo and Arab Juliet in Morocco.' It's not, But it is a cool coming-of-age drama that deals with two-faced family life and social conflicts. While it is a teen movie, it's much more intelligence and sophisticated that the teen comedy-romance crap churned out by Hollywood. See more 03/21/2008 Au contraire des critiques que j'ai pu lire sur ce film, je trouve qu'il représente tout à fait (mais alors tout à fait tout à fait) la jeunesse dorée marocaine. J'y ai reconnu certaines de mes cousins/cousines ou ce qu'ils/elles risquent de devenir d'ici un an ou deux. La façon de parler en s'attendant à une réponse immédiate, le fait qu'on ne leur refuse rien ou pas grand chose,... Les personnages son attachants "malgré" ce réalisme, un peu comme de vrais marocains quoi. See more 01/25/2008 Bon c'est pas un film exceptionnel en soi mais j'ai adorE la pertinence du reflet de la jeunesse doree marocaine...etant moi-meme semi marocaine j'ai souri pas mal de fois dvt les repliques dites en arabe :) les bonnes qui dansent avec Rita ds la cuisine, l'humour et les reves d'occident de ces jeunes, tout cela je l'ai deja vu de mes propres yeux et j'en ai apprecie la restitution ! Sinon j'ai bien aime la façon dont est captee la lumiere, on reconnait bien la le Maroc comme j'ai pu le voir. See more 01/21/2008 muslim girl loves jewish boy in casablanca.
