"Salut Cousin"
1996
Directed by Merzak Allouache

Alilo, just off the plane from Algiers, hooks up with his cousin, a would-be rap star who is also a pathological liar and a guide to the Paris underground scene. Allouache's realistic tale of the "Other" Paris--the poor tenements of the 18th arrondissement.  French and Arabic with English subtitles.  98 minutes.
