Alfred Roch, member of the Palestinian National League, is a politician with a bohemian panache. In 1942, at the height of WWII, he throws what will turn out to be the last masquerade in Palestine. Inspired by an archival photograph, A Sketch of Manners (Alfred Roch’s Last Masquerade) recreates an unconventional bon vivant aspect of Palestinian urban life before 1948. Posing silently for a group photo, the unmasked and melancholic pierrots accidentally personify the premonition of an uncertain future.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
