After the straight horror content of 2018 narrative feature debut “Dachra,” which was released in the U.S. just six months ago, Abdelhamid Bouchnak aims for a more complex, unclassifiable mix of fa…
aims for a more complex, unclassifiable mix of fantasy and drama in “Golden Butterfly.” Tunisia’s Oscar submission title is a somewhat mixed bag whose occasionally arresting parts work better than the whole. But its thematic ambition and visual panache further advance the writer-director as a significant emerging talent in the region.
That news doesn’t improve his mood, natch. But he’s distracted by the inexplicable arrival of a mute boy , who refuses to be scared off by his ill temper. Surmising somehow that the child is going blind — a diagnosis Moaz himself has recently received — he decides to take the lad on an extended trip to “show him things he’ll never forget,” before they both stop seeing altogether.
Interwoven throughout are flashbacks to a beauteous girlfriend whose tragic loss is one source of Moaz’s bitterness, as well as his past family life with an abusive alcoholic father he remains estranged from, despite the attempts of a sister to reconcile the two. As if this weren’t quite enough toxic masculinity for one movie, there are also scenes with the bullish hero’s police chief , who’s even worse — a source of fear for his wife and children, with still graver misdeeds hinted at.
