Norah

About This Movie

So, NORAH is set in this isolated Saudi village during the 90s, which already adds a layer of intrigue, right? The oppressive vibe of the time really seeps through. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, giving you space to absorb the tension of an artistic soul caught in a repressive society. The performances are quite raw; you can feel the weight of the characters' struggles. The teacher, who was once an artist, brings a sense of hope but also conflict. And Norah, the young woman he meets, embodies this yearning for freedom and self-expression. It’s fascinating how they navigate their connection amidst the societal constraints. It's that clash of art and oppression that makes it distinctive, really.
