The only way to treat this subject is laughing at it!!

The problem in the Middle East is very complex and not black & white. To make a film about the ongoing war between two tribes who have the same forefathers and have to share a piece of land is not easy!! The only way, in my opinion, to make a film about it, is to make it light and transparent. And that is exactly what Elia Suleiman does. Absurd scenes (the Palestinian beauty who turns into a Ninja and destroy the acrobatic Israeli marksmen), but also very subtil stories about Palestinians who make life miserable for each other in the Occupied terretories. He uses several biblical symbols (eating eggs, killing a snake) and uses repetition to show how life gets by when you're living like subhumans. My cup of tea!!

Wissenswertes
The film was only submitted once to the Academy. Though the Academy did consider it, it did not make the final cut of the top five films in the world. There was some misinformation about why the Academy didn't consider the film the first time. The American distributor claimed he called AMPAS and asked them if they would consider it and was told they would not because Palestine is not a country recognized by the Academy. In fact, the Academy spokesperson said that the film was not considered the first year because it was never submitted. The second time it WAS considered but didn't win a nomination. The AMPAS spokesman also said that it's not their job to decide who is a country and who isn't as the UN decides that. It should be noted that Taiwan and Hong Kong are also not recognized by the UN as "official countries" but have had films nominated by the Academy.
