Sunday dinner/lunch scene
Did anyone find it odd how they ate? Fingers, food all over the mouth, simply ravenous. I expected Slimane's sons to comment on Rym's eating when she shared a meal with their father. LOL.

shareIn Arabic culture they say, God's perfect fork - and hold up their hand.
Why do you expect everyone to do the same as your culture?
Arabic food is eaten a lot with your hand. All the food is designed so you can easily eat it with your hand or with bread pieces. The meat is usually into small squares with the bones still in it so you have to remove the bones from your mouth. Eating or being given the marrow is a sign of honor. I think she was eating a pepper and took the stem out or she was removing fish bones.
Go out and eat some Arabic food with your hands and get in touch with your emotions.

yes... i didn't get it.. why did they have to focus on the mouth full of food.. it was disgusting... really horrible.. no one likes to see a big dirty mouth with foos on the teeths... you usually don't look at that when you see people... they should have focus on the eyes.. i don't know.. or maybe the hands.. whatever.. but not the mouth... i'm pretty sure no one liked it...
shareI'm sorry, but this statement seems a little ridiculous and vague. I am totally understanding of having pride for one's own culture, or intense respect of another culture, but to attach an almost spiritual mystique to any culture's food or eating habits is taking it a bit far.I'm not sure it was meant in the way you have interpreted it. There's something about eating with hands, it's what babies and very young children do, that is tactile and makes eating a very different experience. If the food is good then the use of the hands makes the pleasure more direct than with cutlery.

Both these scenes were great. The first because the atmosphere was so convivial. I felt as though I were a guest at the table because of the way it was shot and their good humour as they ate delicious food was infectious. The second scene where Slimane shares couscous with Rym was touching. I loved Rym and watching her enjoy the food was wonderful.
