(7 Dec 2018) DIRECTOR NADINE LAHAKI COMMENTS ON HER GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATION FOR 'CAPERNAUM' The 17th edition of the Marrakech Film Festival is still ongoing. The day before its closure, celebrities attended the screening of Lebanese director Nadine Labaki's 'Capharnaüm.' The film, nominated for a Golden Globe in the foreign-language picture category, is the first Lebanese film to be nominated. Last May, the movie received the Cannes' jury prize. The film drew a rousing standing ovation at its premiere Thursday (6 DEC. 2018) but less enthusiastic critic reviews for its tale of a 12-year-old boy living in poverty who sues his parents for bringing him into such a cruel world. She reacts to this nomination by explaining that she learned the good news in her hotel room in Marrakech and is very "excited about it" The Film Festival of Marrakech ends Saturday. Fourteen films are competing and must seduce an international jury, led by American director James Gray.
