^Global Film Discussion Guide - Masquerades (pdf)"In the scene where Mounir, dressed in an elegant suit, accompanies new best friends Rédouane and Hamza on a trip out of town to scam a pair of gullible shepherds out of their money, our sympathies are drawn to the innocent shepherds immediately, in part by use of a tight close-up that fills the screen entirely with the sincere and modest face of one of the two men. We also get a reverse-shot of Rédouane in close-up, but by contrast, Rédouane wears a phony, ingratiating expression. Despite his proximity, he’s at a further distance from our sympathies, as it were, as if ripe for more critical inspection and evaluation by the audience." نسخة محفوظة 04 أبريل 2018 على موقع واي باك مشين.
