PODCAST | Ilaria Gomarasca interviews Dina Amer, director of the film You resemble me.
“This film was created to understand the roots of one woman’s trauma – a journey through layers of disassociation, from the personal and familial to the religious and colonial: a kaleidoscope of splintered identities and fractured dreams”. Director Dina Amer about her film You resemble me presented in Venice at Giornate degli Autori.
You resemble me: Cultural and intergenerational trauma erupt in this story about two sisters on the outskirts of Paris. After the siblings are torn apart, the eldest, Hasna, struggles to find her identity, leading to a choice that shocks the world. Director Dina Amer takes on one of the darkest issues of our time and deconstructs it in an intimate story about family, love, sisterhood, and belonging.
