“Nadine Labakis film is no shaking in the first place. “
“This lebanese film was oscar nominated in the category Best foreign language film and had been an equally deserved winner as Alfonso Cuaróns ”Roma”. Got jurypriset at last year’s Cannes film festival and had won the palme d’or if I had been the supremacy of the jury. This extremely strong and gripping drama about poverty in Beirut and the refugee crisis, was the festival’s only +++++movie.nFilmtiteln refers to the biblical city that purported to be Jesus ‘ home. Now is the long since in ruins. Director Nadine Labaki said to have come on the title when she spontaneously, apropos of the film’s theme, exclaimed:n– It is Capernaum. It is hell, there is chaos.nFilmen begins in a courtroom in Beirut. 12-year-old Zain (Zain Al Rafeea) is paperless and is in prison for a crime he has committed. A streetsmart kid you not, the repression in the first place. And now he wants to sue their parents! The reason is that they gave him life, and then still not bother him.nSedan rolled zain’s life up in the recaps. How he grows up in a urfattig and dysfunctional family. How zain’s 11-year-old sister are sold into a horrible marriage. How it affects Zain to run away from home and live on the streets of Beirut. How he hits both the syrian refugee and an ethiopian refugee (Yordanos Shiferaw) and her baby (Boluwatife Treasure Bankole). How he eventually becomes responsible for the baby. How he dreams about in any way able to escape abroad, preferably to Sweden, where he has heard that all received in a friendly way.nOch eventually we are back in the courtroom.nFattigdomen and the refugee crisis becomes a fund for the few deeply touching portrait of people trying to survive despite the fact that they are so far down on society’s bottom as one can imagine. The film is full of heartbreaking scenes. Nadine Labaki, who has given himself a small supporting role, has certainly attracted the best of all the non-professional actors.nZain Al Rafeeas glance of alternating anger, fighting spirit, and mourning, and the cute baby unawareness of what the hell he was born to, there are things you never forget.”
