RENAULT 12

un film de Mohamed el Khatib - Littérature / Cinéma

Renault 12 is a cinematic experience from a documentary material: my mother’s death. This account is the whole of confidences, an intimate epic, the support toward death and what follows, that is to say the ceremonies and rituals, the repatriation of the body and the administrative contingency. I unveil, with sound and video recordings, some cultural shifts between my family from Tangier, myself and the hospital.

Renault 12 is a cinematic experience from a documentary material: my mother’s death. This account is the whole of confidences, an intimate epic, the support toward death and what follows, that is to say the ceremonies and rituals, the repatriation of the body and the administrative contingency. I unveil, with sound and video recordings, some cultural shifts between my family from Tangier, myself and the hospital.

Renault 12 is a fragmentary narrative of learning that traces a course of rhythm to its different rituals on both sides of the Mediterranean. Two perspectives of transit then mix, that of a coffin of France towards Morocco, that of a heritage which must pass from Morocco to France.

Renault is a french vehicle model very famous in Morocco in the 70s for its velocity in mountains and hostile topography.
