I first read about this movie in Noura's blog, and i liked the story and how brave was Nadine to cast such a movie , The film got so famous that it participated in Cannes festival (March-2007) , and was sold up to 35 countries including US and major European countries.
So what made me talk about this movie ,is that they are showing it in Jordan and UAE cinemas by the end of this week ,Oct.25th ,and i was so sad to know that ,because in Qatar it'll be either late to be showed or never will be ...
some facts while shouting the movie :
- The film was released in Cannes in May 20, 2007, exactly one year after the shooting starts (May 20, 2006).
- The shooting of Caramel ended just 9 days before the Israeli war against Lebanon in July 2006.
- Other than Nadine Labaki and Adel Karam, this is the first experience in movies for the other leading role actors.
- Nadine Labaki is engaged to Khaled Mouzanar, the Music Composer for Caramel's soundtrack .
- Caroline Labaki, Nadine's sister, was the one responsible of Costume Design.
- An old clothes shop in the Beirut District of Gemmayze has been transformed into a salon where the shooting of the film took place.
