Majnunak: On Men, Sex and the City (1997): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1997, Majnunak: On Men, Sex and the City is a notable film directed by Akram Zaatari.

What it’s about. Set in the industrial suburbs of Beirut, Majnounak explores male sexuality through interviews with men who recount one of their sexual relationships. Attentive to details of body and sexual language, songs, indications of each interlocutor’s erotic imaginary, the film tries to sketch a portrait of the ”male” they identify with. Patterns emerge, as do norms, but also an unsuspected map of Beirut’s sites of sexual encounters.
