[Spoiler alert: I mainly write about the end of this film.]
“And then we danced” is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. So powerful and strong, yet so delicate and sensitive – like Mareb, the main character of this sweet film about love, friendship, authenticity, courage, and liberation.
In my view, the “we” who “then danced” are all the different parts that make up Mareb, and in particular both his feminine and his masculine sides that he brings together and brings out in his dancing – especially in the beautiful, poignant, liberated and liberating dance in that last, defiant routine he exhibits, stating who he is with the courage of someone who feels confident in his own authenticity and protected by the love of those who really matter to him.
A precious and powerful inspiration!
