Waiting for Happiness (2002)

Before immigrating to the West, Abdallah travels to the coastal city of Nouadhibou, Mauritania, to visit his mother. Although he grew up there, Abdallah feels anything but at home in his old neighborhood: he can no longer speak the local dialect and he wears western clothes that immediately cast him as an outsider. But, as Abdallah spends time with a young boy and an elderly electrician, he can't help but feel a sense of loss for the life he's abandoning.

An interesting movie that centralizes on a small village where certain individuals are dealing with various emotions: loneliness, unhappiness, and the need to belong. A college student returns home, and feels like an outcast. A mother hopes that her only son will want to settle, and feel comfortable at home. A young boy seeks to learn the trade of his mentor. An individual missing the companionship of an old friend who left years before. Cast- Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Mohamed, Khatra Ould Abdel Kader, Maata Ould Mohamed Abeid, and Nana Diakité. Worthy!

It's visually great at times, the music tends to be lovely. It does manage to reflect perfectly the atmosphere of a Mauritanian village. The messy narrative or a lack thereof can get frustrating and yes, the movie does get a bit too slow. It was an interesting watch and a great window into Mauritanian society I reckon, but it was really frustrating at times (the pace, the mixed up narrative and those few times that their accents were so jumbled that it might've been hassaniya and not french for all I knew, with no subtitles in sight).

The beautiful, unusual music is this film's chief draw, but its dreaminess may lull you to sleep.

This is a very original and well-made film. It evokes incredible beauty, solitude, sadness and humor. The camera seems to tag along after the different characters. The images are unforgettable.

A striking visual poem yet it felt a bit too understated and languid for its own good.
