Sunday was dedicated to a movie that is incredibly well made. Please try and watch it whenever you get time.
Capernaum (#Capharnaum - Children of Chaos) made by Nadine Labaki is an extremely powerful #Arabic movie portrayed in Lebanon.
It features Zain al Rafeea (born in Syria) in a heart-breaking debut performance as a young boy fending for himself under dangerous circumstances. The entire movie revolves around #Zain. We generally don't expect incredible acting from an 11 year old kid. #Zain, the key protagonist, showcases an amazing performance in this heart-breaking story. You don't want to stop seeing him. He makes you, alternatively, smile and cry with immense grace.
The way they have shot the one-year old baby and his performance is exemplary too. You feel so good while seeing something that showcases love between people (kids) that spend time together under various circumstances.
Nadine Labaki takes these two most common statements: "I wish I never lived" & "I wish my parents never had me" and she develops a powerful film that gives humanity to these children who need it the most.
This movie will simply make you take a step back from your own reality and look closely at the reality of those who have no voice to speak and no means to rebel. The middle section of the movie, mostly shot on handheld cameras on the streets of Beirut, is breathtaking, topical, hilarious, tender and brutal.
The movie is nothing less than heartbreaking. Don't miss it. Please do watch it. 😊
