Why You Should See This Film
In writing Calle Málaga, Moroccan director Maryam Touzani (The Blue Caftan) drew on the experiences of her grandmother, weaving an inter-generational story about resilience and and joy in later life. Despite the at times emotionally fraught subject matter, Touzani harnesses longtime Pedro Almodóvar collaborator Maura's natural charisma and captures the vibrant spirit of Tangier to craft a beautifully warm and uplifting tale.
