<h5>Trivia:</h5>
Filming was supposed to start in summer of 2005 but one of the leading actors was ill, resulting in a major delay. Thus, filming actually started on 5 September 2005 and was still running by 16 January 2006. The set was on a boat in the port of Sète for a least 6 weeks from October to December, 2006. Outside temperatures were very low, as opposed to what they should have been if schedule could have been held. This led the production to set up large tents near the set (boat) with heating systems for the actors and extras to remain comfortable between takes.

<b>Would You Like Some Nice Sauce On Your Couscous?</b>, 29 June 2009

In the grand tradition of film dealing with food as a central
centerpiece,'La Graine Et Le Mulet' (released in the U.S.& other
English speaking countries as 'The Secret Of The Grain') can easily be
placed with other films such as 'Eat,Drink,Man,Woman','Big Night' &
'Babbette's Feast'. Slimane,a sixty something ship yard worker is being
pressured by his boss to step down,due to the fact that he's not as
fast as the younger men who are working the docks. All of this,plus the
pressures of dealing with an ex-wife,who scolds him for non payment of
alimony,plus his sons & daughters,who are constantly arguing with each
other,as well as their own families is having an effect on his life.
Slimane's dream is to refurbish a boat & turn it into a floating
restaurant that serves up traditional North African cuisine (with
CousCous,the star attraction). After procuring the funds,not to mention
going through the bureaucratic b.s. that's necessary for an undertaking
of this sort, Slimane is on to realizing his dream. Abdel Kechiche
writes & directs a fine story of family bonds & over coming hurdles (or
at least trying to over come hurdles). Habib Boufares plays a weary
looking Slimane. The rest of the cast is made up of various folk from
Tunesia,France & other places. The camera work (by Lubomir Bakchev)
opts for a documentary look that really works for this film (as the
documentary look also worked fine for 'The Class',earlier this year).
If I have any quirk with this film, at two & a half hours,plus,it's a
wee bit long in the tooth (several scenes could have been either
trimmed,or even cut out,which would not have hurt the films integrity
in the least). Make sure you enjoy a full meal before you undertake
this film (as you'll be really hungry after wards). Spoken mostly in
French & Arabic with English subtitles. Not rated,but contains raunchy
language,brief flashes of nudity & some muted sexual content

Comments: It takes will, courage and determination to realise a dream. But most of all it takes family
Summary: At the port of Sète Mr. Slimani, a tired sixty year old, drags himself towards a shipyard job which has become more and more difficult to cope with as the years go by. He is a divorced father who forces himself to stay close to his family despite the scissions and tensions which are easily sparked off and which financial difficulties make even more intense. He is going through a delicate period in his life and recently, everything seems to make him feel useless; a failure. He wants to escape from it all and set up his own restaurant. However it appears to be an unreachable dream given his meagre, irregular salary which is not anywhere near enough to supply what he needs to realise his ambition. But he can still dream and talk about it with his family in particular. A family which gradually recompacts around this project which comes to symbolise the means to a better life. Thanks to their ingeniousness and hard work this dream soon becomes a reality... Or almost...
