Film No 71 (2018) August 18th. 11:00 PM LUNA PALACE Leederville .
"What did you say".(The judge asks Tony what he said to Yasser to insight him to physically assault him causing broken ribs).
This Academy Award nominee (Best Foreign Film; Lebanon's first) focuses our emotion on how simple it might be to say sorry, but convinces us how difficult it can be, given historical hate; hate many of us will never comprehend. Director and co-writer Ziad Doueiri shapes a film motivated by personal experience - but with very different outcomes. Toni (Adel Karem), a Lebanese christian clashes with Yasser (Kamel El Basha), a Palestinian refugee, over a drainpipe, in the heart of battered Beirut. The clash pushes Toni to the brink, he voices as hurtful an insult as a Palestinian could endure. The ramifications lead to a court room drama which captures the ire of a nation. The Insult is a power-house of a film with an ending so unique it should be seen my many. 10GUMS.
