Hamzé recorded the whole soundtrack for the film, which was banned in Lebanon due to suggestive scenes depicting the Lebanese government as covering up information pertaining the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Harriri. Directed by Danielle Arbid, the film revolved around Zoha, who is a wildly romantic club singer who falls in love with a French spy. She then had to brush up on her French and take singing classes for her role as Zoha in yet another controversial film, the 2011 Beirut Hotel, co-starring French actor Charles Berling.

The film was Hamzé’s first brush with media scrutiny for controversially criticizing the way Islam is being practiced erroneously in certain Iranian regions. In fact, her film debut in 2009 required her learning Persian to lead the cast of the Iranian-acclaimed long narrative film The Book of Law, co-staring the legendary Iranian actor Parviz Parasui and directed by Maziar Miri. Her academic background in the theater and her love for the arts has since then pushed her to pick diverse roles and languages, collaborating with filmmakers from around the world. Hamzé then received a bachelor’s degree in drama at the Institute of Fine Arts in Lebanon in 2002 before receiving a master’s in arts and media practice from London’s University of Westminster. It was an honor, really, and a delight.”īorn in the middle of the Lebanese civil war, a young Hamzé was sent to a private boarding school in London.

“The award meant a lot for me since it came from a country I visited for the first time, rich in history and intellect. Hamzé also served as co-writer, co-producer and casting supervisor for Nuts, French filmmaker Henri Bargès’ directorial debut. This made her different and fearless and that drew me to playing her character,” Hamzé says.

She portrayed an addiction to risk, which I personally think is usually portrayed for male heroes and rarely for women. “What I liked about Lana is that she was a tough woman, and had a sharp edge to her. This summer, Lebanese rising starlet Darine Hamzé received the Best Actress Award at the 10th edition of Oran International Arabic Film Festival for her role in the action comedy Nuts where she plays a strong-willed mother and wife, Lana, who takes up gambling against her husband’s will as well as that of professional poker players taking part in underground games organized by the mob across Lebanon.
