CHENNAI: The first work from Bangladesh to feature in the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard section, “Rehana Maryam Noor,” is a powerful film with a feminist message that takes its title from its protagonist, a young widowed doctor with a daughter in the first grade. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle This is Abdullah Mohammad Saad’s second endeavor as a director, and as the film rolls on, we see Noor’s hardened attitude toward anything she considers inappropriate. She also teaches medicine, and when she finds a professor abusing a student, she is compellingly unrelenting. Noor, played by Azmeri Haque Badhon , will stop at nothing. When she fails to encourage the girl who was molested to press charges, the doctor decides to “confess” that she was the one who was raped and hopes that the perpetrator will be forced to quit.
