Wedding Moon (1998)
Director: Taïeb Louhichi
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Energetic but somewhat tiresome tale of a close-knit bunch of bikers, repeatedly partying around the outskirts of Tunis to a heavy metal soundtrack. Facing opposition from parents, bosses and the like, it turns out that the kids are all right! - when they help to matchmake a (patronisingly portrayed) couple of misfits with disabilities. Then an argument leads to disaster, and the story finally kicks in. Repetitive, none too effectively acted, and saddled with an uneven, meandering narrative that combines clichés and melodrama, the film never once lives up to the promise of its opening credits.Author: GA
