Review of Warsha

Warsha (2022)
10/10
Vertigo
26 March 2023
What a powerful short movie, with an impressive photography and solid performance by the main actor.

I wonder what was the song (who sings, what's the title?) that played a key role in the plot.

It's all about vertigo: vertigo at the top of a crane, vertigo of the dance, vertigo of the prayer, and vertigo of expressing a hidden identity. The main character feels like a tightrope walker, navigating so much pressure and obstacles in his life (as a Syrian refugee in Lebanon, as an exploited worker, as someone living precariously and without privacy. And yet, what a tribute to the resilience and poetry of those who hustle on a daily basis.

Very touching and beautiful.
