andrea c @Charst Oct 14, 2024 Un regista che interpreta sè stesso in una grottesca e singolare visione del uso paese, la Palestina, e di come questo non sia solamente uno "stato" dai confini non definiti ma una mentalità che i suoi abitanti si portano dietro ovunque essi siano nel mondo. La sceneggiatura è senza dubbio di alto livello, volutamente incastra l'assenza di tragedia con la probabile difficoltà che ha avuto il regista nel promuovere la sua visione proprio per lo stesso motivo. Il fulcro della sceneggiatura è composto da una serie infinita di metafore e di allegorie che creano una barriera di interesse oltre il quale solamente i palati più fini possono arrivare. La scelta è precisa e portata avanti in maniera coerente; senza dubbio portando ad un risultato aperto a pochi, ma di cui essi potranno goderne a pieno. See more

Oleksii V @ole665 Apr 11, 2024 Elia fights stereotypes about his own country by stereotyping western countries in very smart and funny way See more

Peter W @RT12077588 Jul 7, 2023 Overall, I found this film to be quite quirky and pleasing. It is a film unlike anything I have seen before as a man enjoys travelling around many cities and enjoys observing those around him, even finding himself in many odd yet funny situations. Elia Suleiman serves not only as a lead actor but also as the film's writer and director. After viewing the film, I am confident that Elia Suleiman certainly has some talent and brings a fun movie that guarantees a smile from its audience. See more

Ken R @RT36478503 Jul 1, 2023 It Must Be Heaven – Or Endless Hedes? Here is a perfect example of less would be more. Chaplin, Keaton, Fields, etc, knew that if going for a string of episodic sight gags, you keep it simple and brief. The rants being lumped on this work are symptomatic of simplistic propaganda lovers – those who will see any ‘messages' they are told to see. The comparisons to Keaton are an insult to the great man, Tati? well, maybe OK, as he too, went on to become as hit and miss as Mr Suleiman. For a feature running 100mins, which solely consists of random absurdist sight gags, this is overkill. I can understand those that were honest enough to admit they could not even hold out to the finish (my audience left after the first painful 20mins) Visually, it looks good as it's obviously been lavished with endless bags of political money (Palestinian). Good cinema needs more than a big budget it requires honest talent, and knowing when to stop. One above-average scene remains memorable, involving a Sparrow and a laptop (must have also been popular with others, as there are now posters featuring it) But, most of the rest is forgettable.
