Das Wunder Von Marseille (2019)

Das Wunder Von Marseille: Directed by Pierre-François Martin-Laval. With Assad Ahmed, Gérard Depardieu, Mizanur Rahaman, Isabelle Nanty. The story of Fahim Mohammad, world junior chess champion, born in Bangladesh in 2000, and currently playing in France.

“A father leaves Bangladesh with his son Fahim, a chess enthusiast to introduce him to the French Master of this discipline and allow him to fulfill his dream even if the truth is much darker. Fahim is a film inspired by a true story, a story that highlights our humanity, but also the big problems of our society. The characters of the film are very touching, Assad Ahmed who is rather bluffing in the role of the little Fahim but also his father played by Mizanur Rahaman who delivers a delivery of a great sensitivity. Isabelle Nanty is always so friendly and I do not think I need to explain why Gerard Depardieu is a monstrous actor. Fahim is not a great risk-taking and even chess games are filmed with simplicity, but we let ourselves be carried away by this story which takes its main strength in its relation to the real facts. And itu0026#39;s a good thing.”
