Voices

About This Movie

Voices, a 2019 documentary, is quite an intimate piece. It features Anissa Kaki, a theatre-maker from Paris, who explores her Algerian roots through the lens of her grandmother Takia. The film is a tapestry of memory, mixing the sensory details of cooking—like the scent of mahjouba—with reflections on heritage and identity. There's a rawness to Anissa's storytelling, capturing the essence of her grandmother's influence. The pacing is meditative, allowing you to really soak it all in. It's fascinating how food and memory intertwine here; you can almost taste the nostalgia. The practical effects are minimal but impactful, lending authenticity to the experience. It’s definitely a unique exploration of family and culture.
