Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
THE TIME THAT REMAINS
Le temps qu'il reste
Synopsis
At the time of the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, just before the surrender of Nazareth, Fuad—a member of the Palestinian resistance—is separated from Thurayya, the love of his life. She flees the conflict and travels to Jordan with her family, but Fuad is captured just before escaping.

Our take
We hardly see films from Palestine, which robs an entire people of a voice and image in the cinema, and therefore of a great humanizing, political tool of expression. Palestinian Elia Suleiman should be cherished, as should this film, his followup to Cannes Jury Prize winner Divine Intervention.
