Goodbye Julia
Southeast Asian Premiere
Mohamed KORDOFANI Sudan, Egypt, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, Sweden 2023 120 min PG (Some Sexual References)
Amid social upheaval, two women’s disparate lives become unexpectedly entangled in tragedy, friendship and lies in this moving tale.
Julia’s and Mona’s lives are starkly different. Julia leads a precarious existence with an otherwise happy son and husband, while Mona is childless with a controlling spouse, albeit enjoying relative luxury. As social unrest breaks out, heightened racial prejudices shatter Julia’s life. She comes to be hired as Mona’s domestic worker, but even as their relationship deepens into that of confidantes, what hidden guilt and secret dreams threaten to surface and unravel?
Set in Khartoum during the years prior to South Sudan’s independence and beautifully shot with a soft warmth and authenticity, Goodbye Julia deftly weaves the personal into complex sociopolitical contexts, delivering a thoughtful drama at once tender and tense.
