"It Must Be Heaven" has very little dialogue, the director Elia Suleiman never even speaks, the camera only conveys the world as the director sees it, the silence of the director is the reality of Palestine, he can only observe, use his eyes and This world communicates and waits for the day when we can communicate on an equal footing with others. Of course, the plot of the film does not have to be watched together. It is better to say that it is an exquisite Vlog. It is not a bad thing to accompany the director through the scenery in front of him. It is not a bad thing to simply appreciate the beautiful scenery in the film. What the director wants to talk about in the film is actually a very serious issue, but it is not told in a heavy and oppressive way, but with a self-deprecating teasing, trying to humour himself and the audience to smile. In the process of developing, guide people to think about the reality that has a stronger sense of existence in addition to the fantasy frame

From the symmetry of the picture to the confrontation of the editing, it still continues the personal style (very Roy Anderson). The director exists both as a Palestinian and at the same time as a bystander. Compared with previous works, the metaphors (or similes) and political appeals of this one are much more straightforward, but it still feels much better than Panasi.

Suleimanian lightness as always.

Professor: First... Welcome to New York, It's good to have you here at our school. I will start by asking you to share with us your experience as a filmmaker and to speak about the ways of being and feeling that have or have not permitted you to achieve... the conditions of becoming what we call a citizen of the world. Is you sense, your identity... of place a thing of the past? Has your nomadic existence extinguished your love of one place? And extended it to a love of all places? In other words are you a perfect stranger?
