Watch the official UK #trailer for #TheDamnedDontCry.
After his critically acclaimed debut Lynn + Lucy, British-Moroccan filmmaker Fyzal Boulifa enhances his reputation with THE DAMNED DON’T CRY, which had its world premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival.
His exceptional sophomore feature follows Fatima-Zahra (Aicha Tebbae) – a self-proclaimed independent, modern woman – and her devoted, but defiant, son Selim (Abdellah El Hajjouji). Living on the poverty line, they’ve led a mostly nomadic life, and rely on hustling to afford a place to stay. Contravening Morocco’s patriarchal norms, Fatima-Zahra relies on her feminine charm in a way that reaches beyond just survival; she’s a woman who believes she’s destined for something more.
In UK cinemas and on Curzon Home Cinema from 7 July.
