Watching this film holed up in my apartment, wrapped in a blanket, sipping tea while it was snowing outside might not have been the best choice. Even considering my viewing environment, the setting and sun soaked feel of this film was quite memorable. Growing up on the beach, I remember that lazy sun feeling, when the heat has turned you into a slug, and everything feels as though it is moving in slow motion. When you can fall asleep in an instant, fall asleep anywhere. The type of heat you have to physically push through. And water is the most amazing and precious thing, a balm to everything, not just the heat.
I can relate to this film on many levels. The main character though, that is a different story. Ziad Bakri is excellent in this, I just do not feel as though he had enough to work with. The film is rich in style but slim on plot and nearly devoid of character development. Still, I recommend this for anyone who enjoys a minimal and stylized unique story. I quite loved how shadows in the daytime were used, resulting in an unease that forced me to keep watching.
