Volubilis succeeds to deliver a powerful message about social inequalities, whilst avoiding the usual clichés in the genre. The characters are very realistic, unpredictable, and very human, the movie analyses what is perhaps one of the most powerful motives in the human condition, that is pride, through Abdelkader. The cinematography is quite interesting, instantiating a certain cold temperature in some scenes, and successfully conveys the characters' emotions in others. To sum up, it is (almost) a must watch for cinephiles and adepts of Moroccan filmography.
