Director: Dina Amer, USA/France/Egypt 2023, 91 mins, 15
"The worlds of contemporary geopolitics and narrative independent filmmaking collide in You Resemble Me, a movie that shape-shifts from a first act coming-of-age tale into something searing and provocative, and ripped straight from the headlines. Bold and scattered, it marks a formidable debut for Dina Amer" The Film Stage
Two sisters growing up amid neglect and abuse run wild on the streets of Paris. After they run away and are split up, Hasna in particular adopts a myriad of identities as she lives with her troubled past. You Resemble Me is a raw and compelling narrative crafted in a unique style illustrating her mental fragmentation, as she struggles to find community and survive.
"this absorbing experimental film … seemingly conjures the voice of its deceased subject to tell a gripping and painful story of dislocation and belonging" The Hollywood Reporter
