Not bad. For me, Ziad el Rahbany'c character was very much imposed on the script to take and advantage of the awesome sense of humour of the legend! His whole narrative line is out of the context. However, I did enjoy it! Flavia Bechara is a very good actress. Needs to have a role onedar with Elia Suleiman. On the other hand I do not really see that this film deserved an award like this in Venice.
