If <em>everybody <\/em>loves Touda, dare you not? Moroccan director Nabil Ayouch\u2018s forthright musical drama certainly doesn\u2019t permit much room for dissent. From first gilded frame to last, the film is besotted with its eponymous heroine, a fiery small-town singer aspiring to the status of \u2018Sheikhat\u2019 \u2014 a revered class of diva versed in the poetic traditions of historical Aita music. With scene after scene conceived to emphasize Touda\u2019s strength of character and depth of talent, it\u2019s just as well star Nisrin Erradi is sufficiently magnetic not to buckle under the weight of the film\u2019s devotion to her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As a dramatic construction, however, Touda is more fabulous than she is intrinsically fascinating, characterized predominantly by determined ambition and glittering, show-must-go-on resolve. Ayouch\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>, written in collaboration with his wife and fellow filmmaker Maryam Touzani (\u201cThe Blue Caftan\u201d), showcases these virtues via a somewhat one-dimensional narrative of challenge, triumph, setback and renewal, with the patriarchy as her hulking adversary in all contexts. But the film holds back from showing us Touda\u2019s soul in its chaotic, capricious entirety \u2014 her life as a single mother, in particular, is rather sketchily drawn \u2014 and remains most fixated on her in performance mode, where\u2019s she\u2019s fully in her power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    When Touda sings, in other words, the film does too. Ayouch\u2019s previous film, the hip-hop-infused <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> drama \u201cCasablanca Beats,\u201d made clear his rather sentimental affinity for songcraft as a means of character expression. Working with a very different strand of Morocco\u2019s rich musical tapestry, he brings that same sensibility to \u201cTouda,\u201d fashioning a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of electrifying song-and-dance sequences in which his heroine\u2019s interior torment and exterior force of personality can reveal themselves in tandem. Doing her own singing with considerable power and emotional abandon, Erradi (an eye-catching presence in Touzani\u2019s 2019 film \u201cAdam\u201d) conjures enough gale-force charisma on stage that we share Touda\u2019s steely belief in her own star quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At the outset of the story, that\u2019s pretty much all she\u2019s got. Touda believes she\u2019s an artist, but to the male punters at the bars and nightclubs where she performs, she\u2019s at best a showgirl, at worst a body for their use and abuse. The opening sequence makes this point bluntly, as a gig at a remote rural venue turns sour: After her performance, she\u2019s pursued into the darkness by a group of drunk revelers, who brutally gang-rape her. Touda is used to callous treatment at the hands of men. Her young deaf-mute son Yassine (Joud Chamihy) is the product of a toxic relationship, his father having long since split, while her conservative brother regards her, with spitting contempt, as a loose woman. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Uneducated and illiterate, Touda has limited opportunities to make her own way in the world, making her vocal talent not just a gift but a lifeline. Her distant dream is to flee her dingy backwater for the bright lights of Casablanca, where she can make her name as a top-drawer Sheikhat, making enough money to send Yassine to a special-needs school. (The boy\u2019s disability feels more a pointed irony in the face of his mother\u2019s musicality than a fully articulated story point.) But that\u2019s a tall ladder to climb, so she grims and bears the scuzzy gigs she can get, accepting the cash tips tucked crudely in her cleavage \u2014 a performance environment that stands in stark contrast to the elevated spirituality of the folk music she performs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    When, eventually, she decides to strike out on her own in Casablanca, a small handful of benevolent elders aid her way: not just her unusually permissive parents, who agree to look after Yassine while she finds her feet, but a twinkly-eyed veteran violinist (El Moustafa Boutankite) who, struck by her talent, becomes her mentor in the art of Aita. If \u201cEverybody Loves Touda\u201d thus admits there\u2019s no getting ahead in this world without any man\u2019s assistance, it at least suggests there are stray good ones to be found. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film\u2019s momentum oddly stalls once its heroine reaches the city, while outsiders may find that the Aita tradition is more mythologized than it is clearly explained. Again, then, it\u2019s Erradi\u2019s indefatigable performance and the whirling energy of the musical staging to the rescue. Picking up on the gold-and-ruby tones of Touda\u2019s stage wardrobe, Virginie Surdej\u2019s limber camera slides and shimmies around her like a fully seduced audience member, culminating in an immersive, near-20-minute sequence shot following our heroine\u2019s climactic performance at a high-rise, high-rolling Casablanca venue \u2014 a seemingly make-or-break moment that doesn\u2019t go entirely to plan. In this scene, Touda\u2019s dreams are simultaneously dashed and crystallized to her, though viewers may not entirely share in the poignancy of the moment: Like her baying audience, we just want the music to play on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
