Info  Vibrant with colour, energy, music and Lebanese humor, Bosta truly captures the Lebanese spirit. It depicts our country in a time of intense change, showing how the Lebanese identity is preserved throughout. The young dancers in the movie create their own version of the Dabke, finding inspiration in new and international trends, yet building on tradition and preserving it, as we Lebanese do so well. Indeed, look around at the audience: you’ll find people young and old, dressed in western clothing, speaking a mix of French, English and Arabic, yet all this with the distinctive Lebanese style. Also in the distinctive Lebanese style, the audience adds its own commentary and humour to the package, possibly getting up to partake in their own Dabke when things start to get rowdy. ---review by nefertiti Still in cinemas, with over 100,000 hits at the Box Office.
