Country: Palestine
Director: Annemarie Jacir
Cast: Mohammad Bakri, Saleh Bakri & Maria Zreik.
Abu Shadi and his son Shadi need to workout their opinion differences while delivering invitations for Amal’s wedding. Amal is Abu Shadi's daughter and Shadi’s sister, it's their custom to deliver the invitations to all their family members personally.
The main lead characters Abu Shadi and Shadi were played by real-life father and son Mohammad and Saleh Bakri. The story is wonderfully portrayed on screen and the pair hit it off brilliantly. Annemarie Jacir shows Shadi as a modern guy who came to his native place from Rome to attend his sister's wedding and Abu Shadi as a Palestinian who lives in his own motherland, Israel. The fundamental difference in point-of-view between the two drives the story and the strength of the movie lie in their conversations. The trip allows them to reconnect with each other. Overall, Wajib is a dramatized look into an Israeli tradition, the tradition that matches to our own wedding tradition and their journey reminds me of my brother's wedding where my father and I invites guests personally.
Verdict: Good
