Film Dachra Complet Jun 2026

Unlike many Western horror films rooted in Judeo-Christian themes, Dachra focuses on North African folklore, sorcery, and the clash between modern youth and ancient, dark traditions.

They arrive at the nearest living settlement, a cluster of whitewashed houses that seem to cling to the mountainside. The locals are not hostile, but strangely transparent—moving slowly, speaking in riddles. An old woman, her face tattooed with traditional Berber markings, watches them from a doorway. She doesn’t warn them to leave. Instead, she simply mutters, "He doesn't like the sound of engines. Walk the rest of the way, or don't come back at all."

Le film "Dachra" a reçu des critiques positives de la part de la critique et du public. Il a été présenté dans plusieurs festivals de cinéma, notamment au Festival international du cinéma africain et asiatique de Fribourg et au Festival du cinéma arabe de Malmö.

Yasmine, a stubborn professor of anthropology at the University of Tunis, believes that folklore is just a tool used by the uneducated to explain misfortune. Along with her two graduate students, the cynical Amin and the tech-savvy but skittish Rania, she sets out to disprove the legend of "The Weeping Shepherd," a mythical figure said to haunt the abandoned village of Bir El-Ater, deep in the arid mountains of northwest Tunisia.

La réalisation est également remarquable, avec des performances convaincantes des acteurs et une bande originale qui renforce l'atmosphère du film.
