Martin Scorsese Masterclass in Cannes

 

 

 

Mohamed Al-Daradji and the Press

Mohamed Al-Daradji and the Press

Mohamed made it clear to press that despite much contention surrounding his film about 3 weeks following the US attack on Iraq in 2003, The Son of Babylon is not a political story but a human one. 

 

I then asked him if his non-political drive but rather humanist drive is reflected in the statement of the little boy, Ahmed, at the end of the film who tells his grandmother, 'Granny, I don't want to be a soldier. I want to be a musician.'

Well, Mohamed then admitted Ahmed's character is definitely partly based on himself and his own sentiments about his visions for a new Iraq. 

STAY TUNED FOR INFORMATION ON PRESS CONFERENCE WITH MOHAMED.
