Our review of Ghost Trail (2024), Jonathan Millet's directorial debut of a feature film, with a brief discussion of Syrian literature, Sednaya prison, and ghraybe cookies.
very well written - I really enjoyed the way the film's plot was described in the beginning and then exploring its allegories and the context it rests on. What made you focus on the biscuits at the end? Any significance there you think? They sound delicious; I have to find them. Keep writing and sharing these films often unnoticed by dominant media!
Thanks Gus, the research on literature was especially tough, because they're only in French and Arab sites! Ghraybe was mentioned multiple times throughout the film, and (I think) that was the snack they shared in the courtyard-- it seemed like a nice cultural aspect to dive into
This film looks amazing! Do you have any information about how to access it! It doesn’t seem to be available on any streaming service I have access to.
It's an amazing and gripping film! It's currently having its theatrical release in some countries, however it is also available here: https://vkvideo.ru/video-27933827_456239064
