  • The Mauritanian
    FILM: THE MAURITANIAN FDG RATING: 3.5 JJJJ Film Discussion Group (FDG) Scale is 1-5 (5 is best) Kevin Macdonald: director Tahar Rahimi: actor, Mohamedou Ould Slahi Jodie Foster: actress, Nancy Hollander Benedict Cumberbach: actor, Lt. Col. Stuart Couch DATE: June 20, 2021 DISCUSSION SUMMARY: THE MAURITANIAN The Mauritanian is based on the 2015 published diary of Mohamedou Ould Slahi’s account of his 14 year detention, mainly at Guantanamo Bay. He was still in prison when it was published but US authorities permitted its publication after redacting numerous passages. Slahi described how he was continuously tortured to get him to confess to being a recruiter for Osama bin Laden after his arrest just after the Sept. 11 attacks. In the film, Tahar Rahim is outstanding as Mohamedou Ould Salahi. In his performance, he perfectly balanced stoic, unbreakable desperate innocence despite horrific torture, with a hint of questionable guilt. In the end, we really don’t know if he is guilty or innocent. What we do know, and witness in graphic detail, is that the brutal torture of prisoners, (inhumane treatment that we abhor when committed by other countries), was practiced modus operandi at Guantanamo Bay. We first meet Mohamedou at his sister’s wedding reception in Mauritania where his family and friends are joyously celebrating. The police arrive, request to see him, and then swiftly take him away. He assures his mother that the problem will be quickly resolved and he will return. He does not see his family again for 14 years. From 2002 to 2016, he is incarcerated without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a United States military prison.

    Munson-Williams Film Series April 2021 Sponsored by M&T Bank The Father March 31 & April 2 Directed by Florian Zeller, 2021, United Kingdom, Rated PG-13, 97 min. Anthony (Academy Award Winner, Anthony Hopkins) is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne (Academy Award and Golden Globe Winner, Olivia Colman), encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can't make daily visits anymore and Anthony's grip on reality is unraveling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her? The Father warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant -- a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives. The Mauritanian April 7 & 9 Directed by Kevin Macdonald, 2021, United States, Rated R, 129 min. Based on the NY Times best-selling memoir "Guantánamo Diary" by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, this is the inspiring true story of Slahi's fight for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government for years. Alone and afraid, Slahi (Tahar Rahim) finds allies in defense attorney Nancy Hollander (Jodie Foster) and her associate Teri Duncan (Shailene Woodley) who battle the U.S. government in a fight for justice that tests their commitment to the law and their client at every turn.
