Intervention divine

Elia Suleiman's Divine Intervention is very much about tension, a beautiful observation on life in Nazareth, and I love the way scenes unfold before the camera. I am fully aware of the historical and social implications of life in Palestine in and under Israel, but I never forgot how Suleiman's film talked to me as a Brazilian, as I come from a peaceful country where things are often on the brink of collapse, and even that is quite uncertain. Some people find this film rather funny, but I find it incredibly sad and disturbing.
