AS I OPEN MY EYES (\u00c0 peine j\u2019ouvre les yeux)<\/strong>
\nKino Lorber<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: B<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Leyla Bouzid<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Leyla Bouzid, Marie-Sophie Chambon<\/strong>
\nCast: Baya Medhaffer, Ghalia Benali, Montassar Ayari, Aymen Omrani, Lassaad Jamoussi<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 2, NYC, 8\/30\/16<\/strong>
\nOpens: September 9, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rock stars make more money than doctors.\u00a0 People pay happily to see rock stars because they\u2019re exciting, but they pay doctors, generally less entertaining, regretfully.\u00a0 And people collect autographs from rock stars, but not from doctors, whose signatures are unreadable anyway.\u00a0 So what does a protective mother want her rock-inclined daughter to be?\u00a0 A doctor, of course.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I Open My Eyes\u201d (the French title \u00c0 peine j\u2019ouvre les yeux means \u201cI barely open his eyes), takes place in Tunisia before the pro-democratic Jasmine Revolution of 2010, which is significant because Tunisia was under the vile dictatorship of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who had ruled the state since 1987 (supported by the U.S., of course).\u00a0 To the credit of the government, Tunisia remained secular.\u00a0 Women were not covered up: in fact they could wear short skirts, as does Farah (Baya Medhaffar) the heroine of this tale.\u00a0 Nevertheless, given the presence of secret police, the state did not look kindly on boys and girls making out in public\u2014or otherwise.\u00a0 Implicit in the story, a band could play rock, people could dance as they do in the U.S., but heaven help a singer who (like our heroine) uses the stage to criticize the government.\u00a0 In a sour mood one evening, Farah, who in better times makes out with her boyfriend Borh\u00e8ne and even appears with him in bed, declaims \u201cOh my country, land of dust, your gates are closed and bring misfortune.\u201d\u00a0 Some in the crowd boo, and all is noted by Moncef (Youness Ferhi) from the Interior Ministry (secret cop) who tells Farah\u2019s mom Hayet (Ghalia Benali), to the disgust of Farah\u2019s dad who has so far refused to join the party.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re led to infer that Hayet, who rages and rants when her daughter comes home late or is reported by Moncef, was once a free spirit herself but had her spirit crushed by the ruling party.\u00a0 As a middle-class woman who hires a housekeeper with the instructions to keep watch on Farah, she wants what\u2019s best for her daughter.\u00a0 Given that the eighteen-year-old has a good mind, Hayet does not want the girl to waste time with rockers but to accept admission to medical school.\u00a0 (Can a Tunisian really go from high-school directly to med school?)<\/p>\n

The picture is full of energy, lots of songs, Borh\u00e8ne strumming away on his oud.\u00a0 It\u2019s refreshing to see how Borh\u00e8ne encourages his girl\u2019s spontaneity, though the band manager, Ali (Aymen Omrani), wants the musicians to censor themselves lest the group lose out on promising gigs.\u00a0 In one disturbing scene, two thuggish regime cops act cowardly in their questioning of Farah.<\/p>\n

This is quite a production especially considering it\u2019s the director\u2019s full-feature debut and what\u2019s more introduces Baya Medhaffar in her first movie role\u2014a high-energy woman full of the passion and stubbornness of adolescence, yet contrite when her mother goes ballistic in dressing her down.\u00a0 In one scary scene Hayet plows through Tunis traffic at breakneck speed, refusing to slow down until her daughter promises not to show up for that night\u2019s gig.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I Open My Eyes\u201d is filmed in Tunisia in the town of Gafsa and the Gare de Moncef Bey in Tunis.\u00a0 Selected for film festivals in Toronto and Tribeca, the film took the Venice Film Festival\u2019s People\u2019s Choice Award and won Best Fiction Film at the Dubai International Film Festival.\u00a0 Dialogue is Arabic with some French, all nicely subtitled.<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 103 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong>
