Quote:
Capernaüm (“Chaos”) tells the story of Zain (Zain al-Rafeea), a Lebanese boy who sues his parents for the “crime” of giving him life. The film follows Zain as he journeys from gutsy, streetwise child to hardened 12-year-old “adult” fleeing his negligent parents, surviving through his wits on the streets, where he meets Ethiopian migrant worker Rahil, who provides him with shelter and food, as Zein takes care of her baby son Yonas in return. Zein later gets Jailed for committing a violent crime, and finally seeks justice in a courtroom.

The Plot:
The film is set around 1914 when Lebanon was under the Ottoman Empire rule. The empire enslaved men to work for free. Abdou goes to get Adla the engagement ring but he’s arrested with others and are taken to cut lumber. Meanwhile the Ottomans prevent the wheat from arriving to certain villages because they want to defuse the ongoing resistance operations led by Abou Ahmed. Adla travels to where some say Abdou is held prisoner and she meets with Abou Ahmed. She along other villagers start helping the resistance get the wheat to the people. When they accomplish their mission, Abou Ahmed, freed Abdou and others escape because now they’re wanted, but on a promise to return and to continue fighting.

Quote:
Beyrouth el lika is a film with a very tiny budget, the kind of films where the director cannot take as many takes as he wants (sometimes even one take only) and where there is not much time for filming. The result is a film that have some actors forgetting their lines and acting badly. But if we forget these flaws, we can appreciate a very original film about a relationship between a muslim man and a christian girl, the title ironicly prepare us for a meeting that’ll never happen. The mid section of the film is composed of 2 long monologues were the main characters record their thoughts on a tape to give them to one another, this section is the most interresting part of the film and is very well directed but it is so so overlong and talky that it weaken the film’s impact. Overall it’s an interresting and original vision of the way people used to live and survive in war time that manage to not fail at any moment in the cliche.

The post Borhane Alaouié – Risala men zaman el hareb AKA Letter from a Time of War (1984) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Lebanese auteur Christian Ghazi’s Hundred Faces for a Single Day (1971) is the avant-garde masterwork that challenged the limits of political film in the revolutionary period. Rejecting propagandistic or narrative conventions, the film’s episodic structure, eerie sound design, and daring lead performance (from Madonna Ghazi) come together in a stinging critique of the revolution’s cultural and political elites.
