This is a really beautiful film and is one of the best films I have seen that is spoken in tashlahit/Berber. 'A Casablanca les anges no volent pas' certainly presents us with the harsh reality of life in Morocco's rural areas. Despite it's cold setting, the comic moments warm your heart, if only for a while, and the love expressed by the protagonists, in whatever form it takes, is extremely powerful and moving. Anyone who thinks that economic migration is terrible thing for those of us in Europe should see 'A Casablanca les anges no volent pas', its clear that given the choice the protagonists of the film would never have left their families (or horse!) and their own way of life for the alienation of the city, but do they even have a choice? Not really.

Arabic-language cinema spans many regions, with Egypt pioneering popular musicals and melodramas, while Lebanon, Palestine, and North Africa use film as a medium for political expression and memory. Collectively, it expresses Arab identity onscreen and has influenced storytelling across the Middle East.
