My friend Lucy gave me the hint of a new movie with Tahar Rahim and Antonio Banderas called "Black Gold". Then my father bought this DVD because he read in the newspaper that this story is similar to the finding of first oil in the UAE. The fighting between the tribes, exchanges of hostages and the bad influence of the American when in comes to the oil, also called black gold.
Paid with Qatari money this movie doesn´t have good critics but for me it´s one of the finest and near-to-authentic movie which matches the story my father heard in the UAE.
I am glad that I watched "Black Gold" - sadly the good-looking Ibn Idriss is one of the bad guys. But Tahar Rahim as Prince Auda is really dashing ;-)
