Capernaum
CAPERNAUM really hit it off the park for me. One very angry movie Labaki has made here (and yet, she still found one or two moment of sweet laughter). Political? Maybe. 170
But the reason I love this film so bad is less because of the message and more of how beautifully made the film really is, despite of it's ugly subject matter.
<PERSON> has already said it -the cinematography by <PERSON> is something to be celebrated.
The score, by <PERSON> is phenomenal. I instantly browsed all his previous works and apparently he's a Labaki regular and has always been THIS good.
Even the sound editing and sound mixing guys did a great job in this: every sound of car engines from streets of Beirut felt like a genuine threat to our protagonists.
I haven't even mentioned the one that carries the whole film: The actors. <PERSON> did more with his eyes than all the Oscar nominees did with all their might combined. And Boluwatife Treasure Bankole is indeed, a treasure. 529
