    Couscous is astonishing,moving,transforming,emotionally exhausting-yet uplifting.

    You endure ersatz Hollywood where art distorts life [and never holds the saccharine]-and not realise how false and untrue it is -until you savour a delectable slice-of-life served up so brilliantly in the movie 'Couscous'.

    True,it it long -150 minutes-but it contains some of the best ensemble acting ever screened and individual performances of extraordinary virtuosity-the tired much-put-upon dignity of the pate ...

    Couscous is a simple documentary about the decline of the French fishing industry and the various issues would have been less tedious than this overlong piece of improvisation.
