My Muslim Husband (2023)

Trivia

Daniel & Alexandra Barnuti about the film:
”If I was to find one word which could describe the aesthetic and the approach of this documentary, that word would be “transparent”. It's the word which perfectly summarizes the two directing lines which I tried to follow, since the moment I started working on it. On one hand, there is a certain rawness of it all. The camera can be very cruel sometimes and this is the case in many moments of this documentary. Using it not as an object, but as an invisible interlocutor who sees everything and gives it to the audience, the camera functions more like a therapist, than a device used for recording moments. It's intimate, intense, it doesn't try to cover up for anything, just shows everything as it really is, without judging. The second direction that comes with the word “transparent” is the personal one. “My Muslim Husband” was always intended to be a very personal film. And not just because, in this case, the directors and the characters are the same persons. Even if our relationship is a little bit more extreme, finding a Romanian converted Muslim is more than a rarity, in the end, we all are in mixed marriages.”
