I liked this movie because to me it is always an experience to view other cultures and their unique characters. Much like The Graduate and other 'coming of age' films, Yoseuf is a pretty straight laced Muslim viewing all the aberrations of modern youth. I think he is surprised that this is a Middle East version of America where fringes adopt some of our extreme fringes.
Yousef encounters a mélange of disaffected youth though his studies here. All the stereotypes are presented: the Mohawk guy, the drag queen, the burka girl, the hot babe, but all having their own identity. As he goes through it all much like Candy did in the 70s film. I liked the characters, the passage of Yoseuf from the offerings of divergent lifestyles, and it is clear his choice at the last shot of the movie.
Really hard punk puck, especially the dance party scene. Wow! Kind of reminded me of that crazy dance scene in that 80s film Jacob's Ladder.
