Country: Lebanon
Director: Nadine Labaki
Cast: Zain Al Rafeea, Yordanos Shiferaw, Boluwatife Bankole & Kawthar Al Haddad.
Zain, a lone son among a large family of daughters is serving a five-year sentence for stabbing a man. One day, he decides to sue his parents for giving birth to him.
The title means “Chaos” and Most of the film takes place in flashback, to find out how Zain ends up in jail. One of the best moments of the film was the closing statement given by Labaki. The middle section of “Capernaum” chooses the patience level of a viewer, whether he is willing to watch it fully or run away from the reality of injustice meted out to lead characters presented in the movie. Zain and Yonas's combination scenes show the shocking experience of a one-year-old child wander around the streets and at the same time Labaki uses that opportunity to tell more about her land. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards. Overall, Nothing more to say, it's a must-watch and one of the most remarkable movies I’ve ever seen.
Verdict: Great
