Ed Meza @edmezavar Ali Kalthami’s satirical drama “Mandoob” (“Night Courier”) examines the class divide in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, telling the story of a hapless delivery man and the desperate avenues he takes to make money. Comedic actor Mohammed Aldokhei plays Fahad, who finds himself in a precarious situation after he is fired from his day job at a call center. Trying to make ends meet, and help his ailing father get necessary medical treatment, Fahad embarks on an illicit scheme to sell stolen liquor while delivering food to wealthy customers.
The film, which unspooled in Toronto and at the Zurich Film Festival, is also a visual tour of Riyadh and its low-income and working-class neighborhoods, mostly by night and often in the rain. Kalthami was eager to capture the city and its glaring lights during the country’s short rainy season. The wide, multi-lane streets and heavy traffic also allowed the director to pay homage to a beloved film, Federico Fellini’s “8½,” in his own opening shot.
Another key scene, in which an awestruck Fahad enters a luxurious penthouse where the owner is hosting a soirée, mirrors an incident that Kalthami witnessed at a similar celebrity-filled gathering that lingered long in his memory. “The delivery guy walked in, noticing who was in the room, and I understood what he was thinking,” Kalthami says. Having worked as a cashier in a hospital as a young man gave him insight into the social disparity he sought to portray in the film, he adds.
