Mohammad Malas, Al-Manam

  • Reviewed: Love Divine, Imagine
  • Comment: It would be great if this could run on November 29, but I understand if it's way too last minute.

Created/expanded by Zozo2kx (talk). Self nom at 14:44, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

  • The two "Reviewed" articles link to "Look Here (horse)", which were reviewed by a different user. Not sure what's going on with that.
  • al-Manam: Article is new enough and long enough.
  • Lede's mention of the Sabra and Shatila massacre is abrupt but appropriate given later sources. Are these the only Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon? If not, it makes sense to specify that the film was shot there.
  • Hook facts check out. Film is notable. Can't check these books. Don't see the film under "D" in the free preview of the Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema but it may be somewhere else, and other sources confirm notability. Some facts confirmed on the Google Books preview for the Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema's entry for Malas.
  • Language is generally good, but this sentence—"Their unique answers provide a window into the subconscious of the Palestinian refugee."—could be stated more neutrally. "Great acclaim" could also be clarified, especially since there is conspicuously not a footnote at the end of the sentence.

  • Mohammad Malas: Article was substantially expanded on 26 November and is long enough (2678 characters).
  • Hook fact is confirmed.
  • Unfortunately most of the sources are not accessible. Most facts can be confirmed by online sources, but I'm having difficulty finding a source that says "Light and Shadows" was banned; Zozo, maybe you could find an online source that confirms this?
  • Some discrepancies between filmography names and dates based on entry in the Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema.
  • "First auteur" claim seems a little nebulous, but is also made by this same dictionary.
