Carine Chaiban
Carine Chaiban’s filmography? Yeah, it’s got some range. You’ve probably caught her name attached to Perfect Strangers (2022), a movie that didn’t just stir the pot—it pretty much flipped it over and set the internet on fire, especially in the Arab world. That one’s all about a group of friends at a dinner party, deciding (for some reason no sober person ever would) to share every single text or call they get during the night. Spoiler: secrets spill everywhere and, honestly, it’s a total mess in the most entertaining way. Relationships? Torpedoed. Friendships? Basically detonated. It’s awkward, kind of hilarious, and full of those “oh no they didn’t” moments.
Then there’s The Sand Castle (2024). Different vibe—way more introspective. The story revolves around a family grappling with loss, using the metaphor of building and rebuilding a sand castle to deal with grief and fragile connections. It’s gentle and raw at the same time. Nothing blows up, but your feelings might. The performances hit hard, and Carine’s involvement gives the film that quiet intensity you don’t see every day.
And Boomah? Man, that’s a left turn. Think coming-of-age meets offbeat humor, set around a quirky protagonist stumbling through life and making a mess of the ordinary. It’s not your typical hero’s journey, more like a “get through the day without screwing up too badly” kind of deal. Altogether, Carine Chaiban’s projects show she’s not afraid to jump genres or poke at the soft spots in human relationships. She’s got range and guts—no boring choices here.
