Saudi Arabia’s year of living dangerously:
"Cinemas are preparing to open in Saudi Arabia, a few decades behind the rest of the world. A strong contender for the first local production to hit the big screen is the blockbuster The Saudi Year of Living Dangerously.
One can just imagine the plot. It stars Mohammed bin Salman, the 32-year-old crown prince who emerged in 2017 as the de facto ruler, with supporting roles by Jared Kushner, the US president’s son-in-law and the prince’s new best friend, and tough-looking guys in the roles of inconvenient royal cousins and unpleasant mullahs in Iran.
There are scenes of war and destruction in countries called Yemen and Syria, valiant stands by the prince against the backwardness of Saudi clerics who fancy themselves as the real rulers of the kingdom. Most intriguing is a Byzantine plot to steal an oil kingdom’s riches that lands the perpetrators in a luxury prison named the Ritz."
