Review of Chaos

Chaos (2001)
10/10
Not an all-crowd pleaser, but an excellent, eye-opening tragi-comedy.
5 July 2002
In line with her previous work, Colinne Serreau uses in Chaos tragi-comedy and caricatural characters to draw crude light on our society. The focus of this film is on the many ways muslim women are exploited and abused by their society's patriarcal system, in their country of origin and as immigrants, among general indifference.

This film certainly isn't trying to please every audience. Although the dialogues aren't moralistic at all, the situations presented are mercyless. It is a hard and shaking eye-opener, but Serreau's acute comedic sense and the excellence of the team of actors will help you swallow the pill.

We trembled, we laughed hysterically with the whole room, I can't get it out of my head. We will certainly see it again.
