"Caramel," a Lebanese chick flick!

It's an ode to sensuality! It tackles "risky" material! It's lovable! So why didn't Oscar embrace it?

@Labaki gets extra credit for making a film in an Arab country that casually depicts friendship between Muslims and Christians

Would should that be so odd? muslim/christian relationships are pretty good in Lebanon, better than they are in the USA.

Or is this more of the "Oooo scary brown arab terrorists hate whites and christians" meme.
