...Muslim and Islamic Religion and Cultures at Harvard University. “It is about becoming less egocentric and more God-centric.” Walking through the exhibit, this act of personal devotion is plain to see. In one photograph, a meditating man shakes his head passionately. The viewer can tell from his eyes that the man is experiencing mystical elation. Post-9/11, the Muslim world has, by and large, been portrayed in the media in conjunction with politics, international relations, and violence. Images like those described above are rarely seen. “It is so easy...
...which the individual belongs. Because the relationship between the subject and the setting of the photo is exceedingly apparent—for example, a doctor placed against a background of pill containers—there is hardly any room for imagination or analysis on the part of the viewer.

In many of the photographs of the exhibition, there appears one reoccurring form: the exposed male body. To the viewer unaccustomed...
...easily recognizable actors. There is also a noticeable lack of interference on the part of Kechiche; the movie does not have a dramatic soundtrack, for instance, that would attempt to evoke specific reactions and emotions in the audience. These subtle directorial choices might fail to lure the average viewer, but those who open their hearts to the life of a man working at a fishing boat dock will likely find themselves steadily absorbed in his relationships and all their complications. The story revolves around Slimane (Habib Boufares), a tired 61-year-old shipyard worker who is laid off from...
