• Basato su: Perfetti sconosciuti

Perfect Strangers is a 2022 Arabic comedy-drama film, produced by Dubai-based Front Row Filmed Entertainment with Yalla Yalla, Beirut-based Empire Entertainment, and Cairo-based Film Clinic. It is an Arab remake of the 2016 Italian film Perfetti sconosciuti, and is the first Arabic-language Netflix original film made purely by Arab production companies. The film was directed and co-written by Wissam Smayra, his debut film in the director's seat, and stars Mona Zaki, Nadine Labaki, Eyad Nassar, Adel Karam, Georges Khabbaz, Diamand Abou Abboud, and Fouad Yammine.

Production

In October 2018, U.A.E. film production and distribution company Front Row Filmed Entertainment, and its Kuwaiti financial partner Cinescape, signed a deal with Medusa Film for the rights to produce an Arabic-language remake of Medusa's 2016 film Perfetti sconosciuti.

In December 2020, the film's cast and shooting schedule were confirmed. The multi-national cast includes Diamand Abou Abboud, Adel Karam, Georges Khabbaz, Nadine Labaki, Eyad Nassar, Fouad Yammine, and Mona Zaki. In addition, Wissam Smayra was set to direct, and co-wrote the script with Gabriel Yammine. This is Smayra's debut film as a director, who previously worked as producer on Nadine Labaki's Capernaum.

In December 2021, it has been confirmed that Netflix has boarded up the film, and set to launch the title worldwide as its first Arabic original feature film on 20 January 2022, superseding the initial theatrical release plan. Front Row has apparently signed a first-look production deal with Netflix, which made this possible. On 13 January 2022, the film's official trailer was released.
