Notes
Theeb is a simple story well told· While set at the time and place of Lawrence of Arabia, this is not a modern version of the Lawrence story· Theeb is a pre-adolescent boy, youngest son of a small Boudouin family· He joins his brother as they guide an Englishman across the desert. The backdrop is the Arab revolt against a fading Ottoman Empire, allied with the Axis Powers during WW· The time is dangerous, and the results tragic·
2016 Academy Award Nominee "Best Foreign Language Film"
