Shot in Chad, portraying the psychological fall-out of an endless civil war, A SCREAMING MAN is titled ironically, from a director who credits Ozu as his strongest influence. Adam is a former swimming medalist, now a 60-year-old hotel employee and head "pool man," who maintains this calm oasis as much for his own benefit as for the hotel's Western guests. The tensions between Adam and Abdel, his adult son, are exacerbated when he loses his job to the younger man and their fragile world begins to crumble. Complicating their relationship is the fact that rebel forces are at war with the authorities, and civilians like Adam and Abdel are under pressure to support the government. With subtlety and grace, Haroun's modern fable eschews histrionics for a smart, restrained, yet deeply feeling drama in which personality, politics and place define its characters' reality. A SCREAMING MAN was the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.--(c)Film Movement

New Review For Movie A Screaming Man
It's an intelligent, good-looking film and one that confirms Haroun as one of Africa's leading filmmakers.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out Director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's movie... shows the quiet desperation that results from inner and outer conflicts.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News [Goes] in a blink from an intriguing personal-breakdown portrait to an all-out social autopsy on life during perpetual wartime.
David Fear-Time Out New York The film is quiet and thoughtful, yet forcefully makes its point about the folly of war.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post "A Screaming Man" is a quiet, tender, finally wrenching story of an individual at the intersection of the personal and the political.
Manohla Dargis-New York Times The characterizations never comfortably accommodate Haroun's pat metaphor, though his stoic visual storytelling has an oblique gravity, suggesting a slightly altered meaning to each surveying shot of the poolside patio.
Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice Engrossing arty melodrama that brilliantly blends together a tragic political and psychological story set in modern-day Chad.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews full review at Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses One man's dark night of the soul brought on by civil war in Chad.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice It's a quietly devastating film, aided greatly by a haunting performance from Djaoro.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman Tenderly observed and admirably restrained, A Screaming Man builds into an austere, quietly haunting tragedy.
-Daily Express A Screaming Man is a quiet film about family life, the relationship between fathers and children, and the way generations can shape and reshape each other. It ultimately has a sublime quality.
Philip French-Guardian [UK] This is a powerful and depressingly downbeat drama that is often hard to watch, although the inexpressive nature of the main character means that it's difficult to fully engage on an emotional level.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon This is not only a good-looking, well directed and splendidly shot and acted film. It is an unforgettable snapshot of a failed country, and one of the best films in London at the moment.
Derek Malcolm-This is London Engrossing and enlightening but it doesn't quite live up to its considerable promise.
Emma Simmonds-Little White Lies Betrayal, guilt, denial, faith and secrecy all roil about beneath the film's placid, almost wordless surface, which is beautifully observed with a stately, Ozu-like calmness.
Steve Rose-Guardian [UK] The director's style is certainly deliberate, but the gradual build-up of events is undeniably thought-provoking, played out in images of stark beauty as Adam's personal odyssey reaches a powerful and moving conclusion.
Trevor Johnston-Radio Times Haroun deploys no rhetoric at all. His cinema is as mute as Bresson, yet as incandescent.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times A moving, compassionate film, shot with near Ozu-like restraint.
Philip Kemp-Total Film Beautifully understated, Haroun gives his story room to breathe and the tenderness to touch the heart. A thoughtful tale of fathers and sons.
William Thomas-Empire Magazine Draws from a personal understanding that gives its fictional story a tinge of emotional reportage.
Kalvin Henely-Slant Magazine Haroun's formal skill confirms his continual promise.
Vadim Rizov-Boxoffice Magazine It's extremely well-intended and contains the broad strokes of a much better movie, but A Screaming Man's inhuman characters lead to an unfortunate descent into clichés.
Sean Gandert-Paste Magazine A beautifully photographed tale of betrayal, A Screaming Man nevertheless turns on an improbable transformation by the main character, a father in war-torn Chad.
