Just want to add to your directorial nugget. I love how the shot of Yasmina surrounded by the boys was framed and then it zooms in to her expression. It gives a very strong a “woman in a man’s world” vibe where the woman feels a lot of pressure while the men are just playing around her.
Look at this particular shot and the body language of the characters. It is almost like Yasmina, a female, is bombarded by the male voices around her. Her having her head down. Immediately after that, the shot changes into a close up of her lifting her chin up and making her move. Rising above those voices.
The issues this clip is bringing forward visually and plot wise with the “slave” game have to do with the oppression of the female voices by men in society, the patriarchy in general but also the misogyny that some Muslim women face (remember that was a subject that was brought up in the first clip).
This particular clip was basically taken straight from OG Skam. We know that that game was used later by the Pepsi Max squad to make assumptions about Sana and her brother and her role as a Muslim female against the role of her Muslim male brother.
As much as I am not a fan of that particular OG plot it actually works well at showcasing how people who hold privilege are blind to it. Elias as a male doesn’t understand how what he says is impacting his sister, because he has never walked this life as a woman and especially a Muslim woman. For him it is a joke for her it isn’t exactly because it is a lived experience.
It is interesting how Younes immediately picks up on that. It shows how he understands the impact those actions have on Yasmina. That is an indication of his character and stance in life in general.
Lastly the way the curtains are draped behind them and the colour palette of that room are a beautiful nod to the Moroccan architecture and the red, green of the Moroccan flag.
