Festen, Lebanese style
11 May 2021
What a great movie. I was impressed by the screenplay and the cast of actors: the story is subtle and gripping. It reminded me of Festen because of the moving camera and the family tensions. I thought Heaven Without People was also a brilliant and poignant introduction to contemporary Lebanese society (corruption, paralysis, diaspora, racism, religious tensions, etc).

Congratulations to the actors for giving such a vivid performance and to the director for being so creative and insightful. The movie also put me in the mood to enjoy some Lebanese mezzes.
