Love Marriage In Kabul is a fascinating and moving story following romance, courtship and marriage practices in Afghanistan. The film won the Audience Award for best documentary at the 2014 Sydney Film Festival. Love Marriage in Kabul details Mahboba's untangling of a seemingly forbidden love between Abdul, an orphaned boy, and Fatemeh, the girl next door. The documentary is driven with suspense as the characters plot and journey tirelessly to unite Abdul and Fatemeh. This is a film which transcends its genre. It is not a mere recounting of events, nor is it a dramatisation. Rather, the filmmakers have cracked the surface of the story, allowing audiences to be compelled and engrossed in the human drama. In addition, an unexpected pivot escalates tension to a feverish pitch, and the documentary becomes gripping reality. |
