For two people in a marriage to live together day after day is unquestionably the one miracle the Vatican has overlooked. -- Bill Cosby

IMDB

I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry. -- Rita Rudner.

Two gal pals (one Muslim, one Jewish) in Nazi-occupied Tunis try to cling to each other despite their differences in “The Wedding Song.” Second feature by Karin Albou (“Little Jerusalem”) is a bold, very carnal take on adolescent female bonding in a setting not often portrayed onscreen, and including areas normally forbidden to male viewers. Small but ambitious movie should be able to sing its way into fests and arthouses, with only its explicit nudity limiting commercial prospects.

Together with “Little Jerusalem,” pic confirms Albou as a new and original voice. Her preoccupations include feminine sexuality and Jewish and Arab culture and religion — plus the major and minor clashes all these elements provoke when thrown together. -- Read the full review.

After Asfour Stah, here is another Tunisian movie that offers yet another sweet glimpse at the inside of a hammam (public bathhouse). But Le chant des mariées (2008) also has something much more interesting: a ritual removal of the bride's pubic hair before the wedding. Sure I know marriage always comes with a price but I never thought it would be that painful. The method involved in the pubic hair removal looks like it hurts like a son of a bitch but it is extremely effective, I have to give it that. Afterward, the
girl's pipe cleaner looks so clean you could eat off it. Unless you're a certified masochist, don't try it at home.

"Pornographic pictures and movies are haram (prohibited). Muslims should not watch, sell or make such movies.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is reported to have said: 'The eyes commit adultery (voyeurism is a big no no), the tongue commits adultery (no cunnilingus or fellatio shall be performed on cocks or pussies not belonging to your spouse), the hands commit adultery (no handjob for strangers, even as an act of kindness), the feet commit adultery (and absolutely no extramarital footjob) and then the private parts confirm it or deny it (and then you achieve adulterous orgasm, or not)." (Reported by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal)

IMDB

After watching Tunisian women completely unveiled in Asfour Stah (see previous post), I googled for some articles on the subject of Muslims and pornography. It turned out, unsurprisingly, that pornography is a big No No in Islam. Check out this article.

Among all the citations from the Quran, there is this one saying of the Islamic Prophet that I find quite interesting:

By God, I would prefer to be thrown from the skies and spattered in parts than to look at someone's private parts or let someone look at my private parts. Narrated by Salman. Almabsooth kitabul istehsan.

Seems a bit extreme, ain't it? Now then, if you examine that statement from a medical point of view, you would see it was clear that the poor Prophet was suffering from a severe case of Scopto-kolbo-phallo-xenophobia, which is an unfortunate combination of the following phobias:
-Scoptophobia: Fear of being seen or stared at.
-Kolpophobia: Fear of genitals, particularly female.
-Phallophobia: Fear of penis, especially erect.
-Xenophobia: Fear of strangers or foreigners.

I believe that to believe in something or someone is a good thing, but to blindly follow the advices of some phobia-ridden bloke from 1 500 years ago is, it seems to me, inadvisable. Apparently, The Prophet also suffered from an irrational fear of exposing and/or looking at the female thigh, a phobia for which I have found no name. He sure was unique in that way.

I know some of you religious nuts are gonna be very pissed-off because I mocked the Islamic Prophet. If that is the case, I am very happy. But know that I also, on numerous occasions, made fun of other religions, especially Christianity. I just can't help it. Making fun of religion is so much fun!! I believe in equality therefore I shit on all religions equally. The world would be a much better place without any kind of religion.

Now that I have filled my quota of blasphemy for this week, let's talk about Ziab la ta'kol al lahem aka Kuwait Connection aka Wolves Don't Eat Meat (1973). It's a B-grade Egyptian thriller that is by no means a masterpiece of the genre. What makes it interesting, though, is the fact that for an Arabic movie, it contains quite a bit of bare T&A. There really is not much to see here, and after watching it you'd be like "So? What is the big deal?". But remember this was made (and later banned) in Egypt, an Islamic country, and we all know the power that be in those countries all have a giant bug up their arse about boobs in movies.

IMDB

"Halfaouine, Boy of the Terraces" is a charming coming-of-age film from Tunisia that takes a rare look at the inner workings of Arabic culture -- the stone- walled streets, alleys, rooftops and households of everyday Tunisia, where traditions seem little interrupted by the modern world.
...
One of the delights of life for the Muslim women is to go to a bathhouse, and the mother takes Noura with her. Little does she know his eyes grow wider as he gapes at the bare breasts through the teasing veils of bath mist. He is soon overtaken by a sense of eroticism he can't quite understand.

I would like to say thanks to courageous filmmaker Férid Boughedir for this movie. I live in Montreal, Canada, a wonderful multicultural city. Many a time I have look at Muslim women and wondered at what lies beneath all those veils. Now I know Muslim women also have delightful tits. Color me enlightened.

Watching this movie's got to be one of the most erectionally frustrating moments of my life. There are some powerful cock-teasing scenes here that really drives my little head crazy.
For example, when our young hero tries to open a sleeping girl's gown to get a look at those sweet forbidden fruits, my heart was pounding like crazy and it took all my self-control not to forward to the next scene to see if he succeeds. And then just when those hidden wonders are about to be revealed to my expecting eyes, the girl smiles knowingly in her pretend sleep and turns sideways. Fuck a duck and deep-throat a goat!

There are many erotic scenes like this that will give a whole new meaning to "sexual suspense". For me anyway, 'cause I was dying to look at some pretty Arabic tits :D

Eventually though, we hit pay dirt when the aforementioned beautiful girl opens her wet blouse and...HOLY COW!! It is a brief but incredibly sweet moment. We get more wonderfully frustrating glimpses like this throughout the movie.

In the end, all is well that ends well for our intrepid hero. He gets to get into bed with the girl and we get to see a fade-to-black scene. Screw a kangaroo, 69 a porcupine, fingerbang an orangutang, I have a priapism I can't get an orgasm.
