Of all the foreign films that we have watched, Rebelle is without a doubt my favorite film so far. The story outlines a young teenage girl from the ages of 12 to 14 who is abducted by the rebel army. When her hallucinations protect her from war with the government soldiers, they pronounce her as a witch and she is highly regarded, especially by the Great Tiger himself. During the film, she develops a close relationship with a fellow child soldier known as the Magician, who through great lengths to find a white rooster to propose marriage to her. After he dies, she gets abducted again by a war commander, and after having conceived his child, she manages to avoid getting raped and kill him by shoving a razor blade inside of her body—which, in my opinion, is really cool. It's rare to find such a strong female protagonist in film nowadays, especially in foreign films, so that made it all the more refreshing. Overall, I enjoyed this movie immensely and would rate it five stars.
