The Last Friday

Yahya al Abdallah 2011 fiction 88 min.

Yahya Al Abdallah's debut feature is an character driven drama set in
contemporary Amman. After his wife (played by Yasmine Al Masri) takes
custody of their only son (Fadi Arida), divorced taxi driver Youssef (Ali
Suliman) settles into a downbeat life of backgammon, poker, and sombre
resignation. But when he is diagnosed in need of urgent (and costly)
surgery, Youssef is compelled to make some bold decisions about his
relationships with his son and former wife. The Last Supper is a sombre,
but nonetheless witty study of one man's struggle against isolation in the
face of economic uncertainty and personal peril. With an award winning
soundtrack by Le Trio Joubran, and a commanding central performance from
Suliman.
