Don’t know what it’s like to live in a place like this, but I have to imagine that this film does a perfect job the restless, aimless feeling that a period of statelessness feels like. This film is anything but aimless though, it has a ridiculous amount of bite to it, drifting between a laid back slice of life hangout film to a dark comedy bordering on slapstick. Like Richard Linklater’s Slacker set in a state of political turmoil. It oozes style too, but it isn’t too overt or tactless with it. Don’t know why this is solely labeled as a drama, it was funny as hell and I’m interested in seeing more from Elia Suleiman, Palestine and beyond.
