Courtesy of Cannes Film Festival Gaza-born twin brothers Tarzan and Arab Nasser’s “Once Upon a Time in Gaza,” their riff on the Western genre that premiered last year in Un Certain Regard, won best film at the 10th Critics Awards for Arab Films during an event held on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival.
“Once Upon a Time in Gaza,” which last year won the Un Certain Regard best directing prize, follows a young student named Yahya and a charismatic drug dealer named Osama who, while peddling drugs out of a falafel restaurant, are forced to grapple with a corrupt cop who has a big ego.
