Oscilloscope Laboratories has revealed that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of Kaouther Ben Hania's crime drama Beauty and the Dogs (2017), starring Mariam Al Ferjani, Ghanem Zrelli, and Noomen Hamda. Currently, the release is set to arrive on the market on June 26.
When Mariam, a young Tunisian woman, is raped by police officers after leaving a party, she is propelled into a harrowing night in which she must fight for her rights even though justice lies on the side of her tormentors. Employing impressive cinematic techniques and anchored by a tour-de-force performance from newcomer Mariam Al Ferjani, Kaouther Ben Hania's Beauty and the Dogs tells an urgent, unapologetic, and important story head-on. A rare, startling film from a female Tunisian director, it's a striking critique on a repressive society and a forcefully feminist rallying cry.
