| Divine Intervention |
Dir. Elia Suleiman Palestine 2001
Subtitled A Chronicle of Love and Pain, Divine Intervention
offers a rare and satirical glimpse into the Arabic psyche. E.S.,
a film director is burdened with a stalled screenplay, a sick
father and an unrequited love affair with a beautiful Palestinian
woman who lives in the occupied city of Ramallah. Their love affair,
which serves as a quiet metaphor for the larger struggle for
Palestinian independence, takes place in the parking lot of an
Israeli checkpoint between Ramallah and Jerusalem. As they gaze
in silent amazement, their world unfolds in front of them in a
series of absurdist vignettes that speak to the sorrow and lunacy
of the conflict and the effects it has on both sides of the
Palestinian-Israeli border. (92m)
