The spatial common denominator of Dans ma tête un rond-point is a slaughterhouse in Algeria, a small theatre of humanity, where drama often hands over to romantic comedy, or even to pure burlesque with a touch of surrealism. By taking the time to really get to know the employees, Hassen Ferhani obtains beautifully deep testimonies. From the two young men who speak only of true love while they butcher cows, to the old sage who has so much to share, this film deploys magnificent cinematographic characters, as well as a few classic scenes. Implicitly, the film also draws a fascinating portrait of Algeria today, of its thwarted hopes, its generational conflicts, and its at times discouraging blockages—a portrait of Algeria going round and round in circles.
(Laurence Reymond)

Hassen Ferhani est né à Alger en 1986. En 2006, il réalise son premier court métrage Les Baies d’Alger. Puis trois courts documentaires, Le Vol du 140 (2008), Afric Hotel (coréalisé avec Nabil Djedouani) en 2010 et Tarzan, Don Quichotte et nous. Dans ma tête un rond-point est son premier long métrage.
