Heaven Without People (2017)
Lebanese reality at it's finest.

This film is unlike any other Lebanese film that has been made due to the fact that it boldly addresses layers of issues that exist in the Lebanese society. The narrative and characters reflect the dynamic that every family in Lebanon has, which tends to come out most when gathered together over a meal. The cinematography is to be applauded because there is one family member on the table that you never see in front of the camera; yourself. I applaud Lucien Bourjeily for his courage to create such a complex narrative that is never addressed head-on in Lebanese cinema, and for doing so in in such a simple setting.
