Film Reviews by BW

One of the best foreign films I have watched, ever. It helps to do a bit of reading about the civil war that raged through Lebanon during the 70s and 80s, and to recognise how the shifting demographics created divisions between Lebanese citizens and displaced refugees. Given what is now unfolding in Lebanon, this film perhaps indicates how Lebanon has for too long been a theatre for other people's wars. The acting and the storyline in this film are tremendous. The twins search for their father and their brother leads them deep into conflict-ridden Lebanon. The dangers are not hidden from the viewer, but the bloodshed and murder are, which makes this film far less difficult to watch than it could have been. Highly recommended.
