I found this Salon article about Satin Rouge annoying and superficial. The film is Tunisian, about a dowdy widow who finds new expression and passion for life through belly dancing, an unrespectable activity she hides from her daughter and neighbours.

One cannot attempt to understand a film like this by peering through the blinkered spectacles of a school of Western critical thought such as feminism. There is more in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophy, and surely that is the entire point of watching a film about Arabic people and their culture. Films aim to create an experience for the audience, they are not just political pamphlets. If we are going to start understanding other peoples, which is what we say we want, we must switch off our paradigms on the way into the cinema, and allow ourselves to be challenged and changed through the experience of truth that art, when it is good, can bring.

Lovely film, well worth seeing.
