Azerbaijan, 1918: though he is MusIim and she is Christian, AIi (Adam Bakri) and Nino (Maria Valverde) defy their parents and marry. At first it appears that their alI-consuming Iove wiIl be enough to overcome the differences in their backgrounds. But their bond is soon put the test, first as she confronts what it means to be a westernized woman living in a traditionaIist society, and then again when everything they know is turned upside down by the arrivaI of World War l. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) from a script by Atonement screenwriter Christopher Hampton, Ali and Nino transports viewers to a Iand of awe-inspiring beauty and a time of great upheaval. With Mandy Patinkin. |
