Raja

UN FILM DE Jacques Doillon

A FILM BY Jacques Doillon

Remarkable empathy and even-handedness.

- Stephen Holden, THE NEW YORK TIMES

Intriguing, provocative and very well acted.

- David Stratton, VARIETY

A subtly thoughtful, gimmick-free foreign film... a masterful tale of frustrated desire.

- Kirk Honeycutt, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

synopsis

Raja is a nineteen year old orphan literally and figuratively scarred by life. Fred is an emotionally bankrupt westerner living amid his plush gardens and palm trees. Set against the backdrop of contemporary Marrakech, Raja is a cross-cultural drama about a wealthy middle-aged Frenchman's complex relationship with local youth. Fred's attempts to seduce Raja, and their mutual attempt at manipulation, are fractured by their gross disparity of income, age and cultural sophistication.
