Considering all the critical attention Howard Hawks has received over the years it's rather surprising that this film, the sixth he directed, is so little known. Admittedly, FAZIL is not at all typical of Hawks' work and lacks most of his recognizable directorial motifs, and on top of that features stars whose names only buffs will recognize, but it's a beautifully filmed, sumptuously mounted late silent drama that's worth seeing for its production values alone. For viewers of our era the most striking aspect of the film is that its story is based on a culture clash of West vs. East, specifically, the difficulties that arise when a European (presumably secular) woman who prides herself on being "free" and modern marries an Arab man who follows the old ways and is a devout Muslim. This material lies in a danger zone that Hollywood has rarely ventured into, even in recent years, and while to our eyes FAZIL is quite dated and very much a product of its time in its depiction of Arabic culture, it's nonetheless surprisingly even-handed in presenting both sides of the case in a painful divide that, needless to say, is still with us.

A very low-keyed film, with doses of comedy, about a young man Alex, who returns to Montreal after a five year absence. The film follows his relationship with Alya, the girlfriend of his best friend Arto, as well as with his neighbour Anne and her two children.
