Paradise Now

I could write so much about this film- how beautiful, how human, how funny, how moving it is- but it speaks for itself.

I just watched it again for the first time in about ten years. The first time I saw it, without knowing anything about Palestinian history, it radicalized me instantly.

Huda’s Salon (2021). Dir. Hany Abu-Assad

Reem, a young mother married to a jealous man, goes to Huda's salon in Bethlehem. But this ordinary visit turns sour when Huda, after having put Reem in a shameful situation, blackmails her to have her work for the secret service of the occupiers, and thus betray her people.

Back in 2017, Hollywood actress Kate Winslet starred in a movie calledThe Mountain Between Us, directed by palestinian Arab film-maker Hany Abu-Assad. I am not sure whether this experience helped shape her opinion on the Arab-Israeli conflict, but either way, she seems to be on Team Wrong Side of History.

The horror and misery of the Gaza conflict, and the 11-day bombing campaign by Israel in 2021, is reflected upon in this grim documentary codirected by the Palestinian film-maker Mohammed Sawwaf and Britain’s Michael Winterbottom. The assault was triggered by Israeli security forces taking up positions on Temple Mount and in the Palestinian Sheikh Jarrah district of East Jerusalem; Hamas fired rockets when they did not withdraw, and Israel responded with overwhelming military force. During the bombardment more than 250 Palestinians were killed, including over 60 Palestinian children (with an estimated 13 people on the Israeli side, said its officials, including two children).

This film sets out to memorialise the Palestinian children who were killed There are heart-wrenching interviews with the families, with translations narrated by Kate Winslet, and surviving family members are asked to pose for a sombre “portrait” tableau, from which some adults break away, their faces in their hands, unable to control their tears. There are also unbearably grim mortuary shots of the children’s dead bodies, which have earned this film its 18 certificate.

Leem Lubany and Adam Bakri in Omar (Hany Abu-Assad, 2013)

Cast: Adam Bakri, Leem Lubany, Waleed Zuaiter, Samer Bisharat, Eyad Hourani, Mousa Habib Allah, Doraid Liddawi. Screenplay: Hany Abu-Assad. Cinematography: Ehab Assai. Production design: Yoel Herzberg, Nael Kanj. Film editing: Martin Brinkler, Eyas Salman. 

Omar is an involving thriller that earned an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film, but a few critics think it goes too far in depicting its Palestinian characters as good guys and the Israelis as villains -- the word "agitprop" has been used. Which goes to show once again that art and politics are uneasy, if necessary, companions. It was made with Palestinian money and filmed in the Israeli city of Nazareth as well as in the West Bank city of Nablus. Omar (Adam Bakri) is a young man who, after being tormented by Israeli soldiers, joins with his friends Tarek (Eyad Hourani) and Amjad (Samer Bisharat) in retaliation. They sneak up on an Israeli encampment and Amjad (though reluctantly) shoots one of the soldiers. When Omar is captured and tortured, he is tricked by an Israeli officer, Rami (Waleed Zuaiter), posing as a Palestinian, into saying "I will never confess," which the military courts recognize as tantamount to a confession. But Rami persuades Omar to take a deal: He can go free if he will work to lead them to Tarek, whom they identify as the leader of the group. What follows is a complex story of betrayal and retribution, complicated by Omar's love for Tarek's sister Nadia (Leem Lubany). Omar stays just shy of sinking into pure melodrama, thanks to director Abu-Assad's screenplay, his well-handled action sequences of the pursuit of Omar through the narrow streets and across the rooftops of Nazareth, and some effective performances by attractive young actors like Bakri and Lubany. The glimpses of a culture too often seen through the lens of geopolitics also strengthen the film. The film is a tale of the strong vs. the weak, which unfortunately makes it possible to ignore the complexities of the actuality underlying it.

I ALWAYS come back to this scene from Paradise Now. There are many things we could blame solely on individuals that are actually deliberate actions by the occupation to turn individuals against each other and keep our focus on individual actions INSTEAD of on the actions of the occupation, which is the source of the misery for EVERYONE involved. We have to get beyond individualism and realize that the occupation is EVERYONE'S ENEMY.

"Life here is like life imprisonment. The crimes of the occupation are endless. The worst crime of all is they exploit the people's weaknesses, and turn them into collaborators. By doing that, they kill not only the resistance, they also ruin families, ruin their dignity, ruin an entire people.

When my father was executed, I was ten years old. He was a good person, but he grew weak. For that, I hold the occupation responsible. They must understand that if they recruit collaborators, they must pay the price for it.

A life without dignity is worthless, especially when it reminds you, day after day, of humiliation and weakness. And the world watches, cowardly, indifferently. If you're all alone, faced with this oppression, you have to find a way to stop the injustice."

Happy Palestinian Film Thursday! (or whatever day you see this because any day is a good day to support Palestinian cinema!)

Every week on Thursdays (sometimes Fridays) I'm watching a film from Palestine. This week's film is Rana's Wedding (2002). Dir. Hany Abu-Assad. The film follows a 17 year old in Jerusalem who, one day, is given an ultimatum by her father: marry a man he's chosen for her or leave Palestine for Egypt at 4pm. Watch it for free on YouTube. 🇵🇸
