The Blue Caftan

 Le Bleu du caftan aka The Blue Caftan

: 2022 Moroccan Drama: 2h 03m: Dir.-Maryam Touzani: Haleem runs a shop of caftan with the help of his ill wife Meena. Haleem's gay nature frequently drags him to visit the Hamamkhana where he fulfils his sexual desires with the similar ones. After appointing a young helper Youssef, Meena notices the undue attention of her husband towards him and thinks that she is living in vain. Gradually she withdraws herself and opt to die for. Director Maryam has chiseled all the characters very meticulously and skilfully. She made us to visualize the loneliness like a vast ocean which keeps you swinging like the waves. Haleem envelopes his dead wife with a blue caftan which was specially made for the wife of an important government official. All the artists performed so well but Lubna Azabal is outstanding in the role of Meena.
