Marock is the 2005 Moroccan film by director Laïla Marrakchi. The film was 2006's most successful film in Morocco, taking more than 3 million dirhams at the Moroccan box-office, according to TelQuel. It was very controversial as it deals with a Muslim-Jewish romantic relationship between two young people in Casablanca, Morocco, Rita and Youri.
The film was shown in Moroccan cinemas without being edited or censored.[citation needed] The title Marock is a play on words based on the French name for Morocco, Maroc, and rock as in rock 'n' roll. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
