Quote about El-banate dol [in French]

"Posant un rare regard sur une collectivité mal connue, méprisée, que la cinéaste apprivoisa avec beaucoup de patience, Ces filles-là aborde avec une grande générosité et sans aucun préjugé l'univers des adolescentes de la rue dans un quartier du Caire."
-- Odile Tremblay (source)
