My award for movie of the month goes to Caramel 
Despite the political turmoil that has paralyzed Lebanon's economy,
Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki paved her way to the Director's
Fortnight section of the upcoming 60th Cannes Film festival.
Labaki finished Caramel, just nine days before Israel launched its 33-day war against Lebanon on July 12, 2006. 'In a sense, I wanted the Israeli people to see the film and understand what
kind of people we are,' Labbaki was quoted as saying.
'Caramel' tells the story of five Lebanese women from different generations
and religious backgrounds who meet in a Beirut beauty salon.
Labaki describes the filmmaking process:
"The film came from personal questioning I have about Lebanese women [who]
are an example of emancipation, of liberty, of independence for other
regions in the Middle East. Lebanese women are really doing what they want
in their lives. But at the same time, there is this struggle with their
traditions, their religion, their education. It is still a little bit rigid.
So it is a struggle between these two worlds. I am someone who is working in
films”.
