Khorma

About This Movie

Khorma (2002) has this unique charm, you know? Set in the dusty, sun-soaked village of Bizerte, it captures a quirky slice of life through its titular character. The pacing meanders like a lazy afternoon, and the comedic tone is often subtle, yet it packs a punch. The performances especially shine when there’s this blend of innocence and absurdity. Khorma, with his vibrant blonde-red hair, isn’t just the village oddball; he somehow becomes a lens through which the community's peculiarities are reflected. The backdrop of Tunisian culture adds rich layers, and the practical effects used are simple but effective. This film feels like a warm embrace, holding a mirror to life’s little mishaps and joys.
