COMMENTS
"The taste of salt is an intense story, rich in poetry and sensitivity, on the destructive power of mourning and on the strength of friendship, on the possibility of getting lost and on the ability to find oneself, where the beauty and power of images do not need words ", Motivation Award Ceremony Film Festival of Mental Health
"Nour Gharbi tells in the scenic image, in which the light of photography plays a predominant role in its own immateriality, an existential drama, making use of a scheme that evolves with the color of the sea, with the expanses of wheat fields and centuries-old olive trees in distance, while the softness of a subdued choral song is supported by the soundtrack of Sursumcorda ", Review on Cinema4Stelle
'The taste of salt is a touching tale of friendship and sharing between a fisherman, who found himself a bum after the death of his father, and a dog ", Giuria Festival Roma FilmCorto 2016
