Le bleu du caftan (2022)
Delicately stunning

I was more touched and moved by The Blue Caftan than I can remember ever having been by a film, in my 70 + film-watching years. Just back from Morocco myself, and having so recently been in just such a caftan makers' shop, I guess I could identify with the business as well as with the three magnificent main characters. I am amazed that it has not been far more widely spoken about or received any of the highest awards. The sparseness of the dialogue underscores the extreme delicacy of what is actually said. I have previously known nothing of Moroccan film-making, and so I was a blank canvas. I feel as if a consummate artist has painted a masterwork on me.
