Divine Intervention
The coolest thing to come out of the
Middle East since Mohammed, this film is
a basically what Bunuel would have
made if he’d lived in modern-day
occupied Palestine. Mostly it’s devoid of
plot, featuring a series of bizarre and
occasionally hilarious vignettes of the
humiliations suffered by the Palestinians.
Occasionally, a love story surfaces
wherein a silent man and speechless
woman hold hands and watch as the
guards at the checkpoint between
Jerusalem and Ramallah harass the
Arabs who try to cross over. Difficult to
describe, but hard not to enjoy, Divine
Intervention is political cinema that
doesn’t sacrifice art and entertainment.
