Unfolding over nine chapters—each filmed in a single take—this is the urgent, painful story of a young Tunisian woman who is raped by police officers and then is forced to fight for the care she knows she deserves. Impressively made, based on a true story, and anchored by a tour-de-force performance from newcomer Mariam Al Ferjani, Beauty and the Dogs takes its tough subject head-on. “The result is an unapologetically feminist and furiously single-minded movie” (New York Times) that is a striking critique of a repressive society. Screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 70th Cannes Film Festival.
