โœฎโ‹† Movie: The Time That Remains

Featured

๐ŸŽฅ The Time That Remains – Chronicle of a Present Absentee (Eng subs, UK 2009). Semi-biographical comedy-drama, 109 min. Directed by Elia Suleiman. This is a blackly comic, four-part look at the lives of Arabs living in Israel over the past half-century. The main character speaks no words during his time onscreen, and his silence lends the character a kind of invisibility that seems meant as an analogy to his view of the Arab presence in Israel. He’s present, yet absent.
