    Foldable (condensation, restraint, lightness), frameable (symmetry, depth, surround), doodleable (exaggerated, bumpy, loose), playable (fugue, symphony, rhythm). For example, the front and back shots of the over-the-shoulder framing and only close-up shots are abandoned, and face-to-face conversations are like two ends of the world. Suleiman left unrepeatable scratches in the history of film with his "shutter" instinct of anti-academy, anti-trend and...

    From the film's point of view, it does not have any demonstration, representativeness, exploration and possibility, and you can even despise its condescending side, but it provides a certain perspective and judgment. The interesting origin of today's popular visual trends is related to Where does the source of aesthetics come from, and with a rather incompetent but conclusive attitude, I personally confirm the possible appearance of the fusion, and then maintain my...

    Although it is always more advanced to talk about heavy things lightly, it is also a bit too light... Is a film director who can travel between Palestine, Paris and New York at will, is he a "perfect stranger"? Furthermore, are these "little fresh"-style mise-en-scene arrangements devoted to ingenious shots and interesting bridges, a deep meaning toward sadness and joy, or a cover-up that avoids the...

    Elijah Suleiman's work written, directed and acted by himself won the Special Jury Prize at Cannes. A very interesting collection of absurd comedy episodes, symbolic satire of modern civilization (such as the many sudden appearances of the police, the parade of fighter jets and tanks in the streets, the relief ration, the airport security, the bureaucratic rhetoric and the new applause mode, and the daily seriousness of everyone. weapon speculation). A lot of perspective symmetrical...

    A short, symbolic formal language for storytelling. The grasp of French society is quite accurate. Starting from Palestine, to Paris, and then to New York, I realized my identity, watched and observed, and finally returned to my own country. For him, a Palestinian, nowhere is paradise, and the end of his identity is where he came...

    #2019EUFILM# 86/100, a complete surprise! It is a comedy movie similar to the style of Wes Anderson + Jacques Tati. A large number of fixed shots are used to present the space under the regular composition. The action lag is caused by the extremely uniform line of sight. of humor. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. However, there is a political meaning similar to "Synonyms" hidden under the surface of the cold humor. All visual symbols that can be dismantled will only generate meaning...

    What was planted was not a bad fruit but a lemon tree, and what was thrown under the car was not a bomb but a rose. If you are from Palestine, there will be vicious men watching in the subway, chatty drivers on taxis will be exempted, helicopters will be screaming overhead, and explosion-proof policemen will be measuring. Can't get through the security gate, and babies on the street are carrying guns. The dull old lady couldn't get the chair, the flying angel wasted his wings, and everyone...

    3.5 When I saw that I was shocked in the middle of the process, there were simple doubts in the wording of "it must be heaven" (the use of foreign objects such as "heaven" refers to reality), and this uncertainty was sent by the director based on his own social role to the regional culture. A sincere question, showing the abundance of imagination with possible adventures, the desolation of the exterior (the imagination of "paradise") is the erasure, after the central character located on the...

    5/10. I don't know what to say, and it's far from true performance art. The protagonist completely becomes a bystander to experience all this on behalf of the audience, so why not use a camera instead? Actors can't replace me. Impressive passages: Planting trees after picking fruit, grabbing chairs, birds that can't be chased away, weird neighbors. The men in the subway horror movies scared me to death. The simplicity of the picture is the factor that supports the viewing of the...

    The director dedicated to his motherland Palestine a bizarre and absurd "paradise" trip, very wonderful and very...

    Be curious, observe, listen, think, question, find joy in the world. Enjoying yourself is heaven

    Perfection probably doesn't exist, and life doesn't always go in the direction we want. It's better to accept it calmly. After all, this is what the world looks like. If you try to be less cynical and more generous, then life is actually full of rhythm: empty, one person, two people or a group of...

    quite advanced fable

    The name of the country of Palestine is easily confused with Pakistan, and many people do not even know its geographic location. This country, which has always been at odds with Israel, cannot give people too specific impressions. Fortunately, this director, Ilya Suleiman, has opened our eyes to...

It Must Be Heaven quotes

  • 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?
