Miral

finally saw miral. the film’s content is fine, except perhaps the oslo accords which r presented as a viable solution to the occupation. a map of what was proposed would be useful as it would be a visual recap of the bantustan that was supposed to constitute a palestinian state. my problem with the film is more aesthetic, more technical. the film lacks any emotional depth. it is full of cardboard characters that we should feel something for but with whom we r incapable of forming any empathetic ties. the camerawork is too stylized (in an unsteady way), to the point of being distracting, annoying. however, the film “shows” many imp issues (w/o really delving into them) and that is something. 3.5 out of 5 for me.
