"Here I am again with one of the few trailers available for films screening at Sundance this week. It’s for a Jordanian film titled Captain Abu Raed, and it comes with the prestige of having already won a Best Actor Award at the 2007 Dubai International Film Festival for Nadim Sawalha, who plays the title character. It also comes with a heartwarming plot involving an airport janitor and the group of young boys who mistake him for a pilot. Yes, we could say this kind of story is a generic one in world cinema, but there’s no denying the appeal of an old man imparting hope and wisdom on a new generation. There’s good reason the theme continues to be reworked time and time again. As I previously touched on when reviewing the trailer for The King of Ping Pong, regardless of how mainstream a foreign film may seem to me, I’d rather check out something like Captain Abu Rae " [More]
