Check out this exciting review of Raghed Charabaty's 'YASMINE' by film critic Marina Butolo, following its screening at Festival Scope! The review is in Portuguese but Google Chrome will translate it to English for you!

QUOTE from Marina Butolo:

"When I saw that [Yasmine] would be playing at Festival Scope, what caught my attention the most was the trailer's art and soundtrack featuring Edith Piaf. Ah Piaf!

You know when you see a movie and would really like to have been the art director? This is one such movie!

The film is about a cannibal couple who lives in a classical "haunted" mansion and spend a part of the film drinking blood and "gastronomically” preparing chunks of human body. However, Yasmine's soul is much stronger.

“To live is to survive beyond our death”

The film begins with the cosmos and phrases that take you to a different universe, which I ended up losing amid the art of the film, only to return to at the end.

It would be unfair not to mention the graphic art and animation of the film. Everything was very well done, with that forced style of not seeming real, which reminds me a lot of the Lebanese origin of the director."
