If you loved Hammamet, try Waiting for the Barbarians

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hammamet, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Waiting for the Barbarians is

The torturer’s manual meets Conrad in a desert fort. A magistrate must decide whether to obey orders or protect the nomads accused of plotting barbarian invasions. The quiet man carries the film the way a flagpole carries silence.
