Bekas (2012) - 97 min

Country: Iraq
Director: Karzan Kader
Cast: Zamand Taha, Sarwar Fazil & Diya Mariwan.
It tells the story of two young brothers, Zana and Dana. They are orphans who live on the streets of Kurdistan. After watching a Superman movie, they decide to go to America to meet him personally and share their problems.
Bekas attempts to talk about the situation in Kurdistan during the 90s. Unfortunately, The strong performances from Zamand Taha and Sarwar Fazil provide an unforgettable experience for the viewer, which force the audience to forget about all the political side of the story. The Johan Holmqvist's cinematography looks gorgeous, showing some beautiful mountains of Kurdistan situated in Iraq. Kader's direction also needs appreciation to make it more realistic and at the same time providing an engaging adventure ride feeling too. Overall, it's a movie that drew you into the passionate journey of the two kids and a must-watch if you like 'Kakkamuttai' kinds of stuff.
Verdict: Great
