Dance of the Wind

The Dance of the Wind (Arabic: رقصة الريح) is an Algerian-Tunisian film and the fourth feature film by Taïeb Louhichi. Shot digitally, it differs from his previous films in its emphasis on meditation rather than vast outdoor landscapes. While scouting locations for his film in southern Tunisia, director Youssef meets the gaze of a stunning Berber woman who orders him not to film her. This marks the beginning of a wandering journey that leads him to his downfall in the vast desert, prey by day to mirages, by night to his anxieties, childhood memories, his first cinematic experiences, and the fear of seeing his film fail because he has let his mind wander. His car is his only anchor and his means of resistance, thanks to the contents of its trunk where he keeps scripts, photos, and means of subsistence.
