Zeft is a Moroccan movie directed by Tayeb Saddiki, released in 1984, adapted from the play by the same author "Sidi Yassine Fi Tariq" (Mr Yassine on the road) (1965). It is the story of the peasant Bouazza, happy and without apparent problems, who sees his life turned upside down by an event that is stirring the whole village. Indeed, an old man who died at a respectable age, was revered as a sacred "Marabout" by the villagers led by Khali Addi, brother of the deceased endowed with a formidable sense of trade. And it is on the small plot of Bouazza that they decide to raise a sanctuary to the newly promoted saint. The drama lived by Bouazza does not disturb the life of the village, until a terrible drought occurs which affects the whole region. Bouazza becomes the target of the Angry villagers while processions are organized to demand the clemency of the sky. But apparently, everything is moving towards a happy ending. The villagers are working, those who have hoped to leave find themselves emigrated to Paris, the mausoleum is over, the rain revives the earth - Only Bouazza dispossessed his house took a nomadic life on a cart and goes straight ahead.

| User ReviewLoukia MClassic. Gotta be a pro at reading subtitles though. |
| User ReviewLinda CI loved Zift! This is the kind of stylized, gritty, and intelligent action movie that I wish had its own genre name so that I could then crown that genre as my favorite genre. Zift was just plain cool. It's a little bit like the original Crank, in that the man is living out his final night and needs to solve a problem first, but without the ridiculousness. I really liked how they found ways to intersperse some cool verbal stories into the narrative. I liked the cinematography. I pretty much liked everything about it. |

| User ReviewPrivate UWhen I first walked into Zift at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival I was expecting nothing more then a cheesy action movie in Bulgarian. I was wrong, very wrong in fact this film is one of the best I have seen all year. A must see for anyone who enjoyed Pulp fiction and or those old noir films of the 50s |
