But Incendies was Canadian and The Insult is actually Lebanese, the first Lebanese film to be nominated, and it speaks in a national voice. 20 out of 40 found this helpful But it reflects on very serious wounds in the past and the lack of reconciliation after, a followup to a tragic story previously depicted in an earlier Oscar nominee Incendies. Kamel El Basha (Yasser) portrays a Palestinian who by all accounts is living a hard life as a refugee in Lebanon. Three stories, all set in Treviso. They have tried to achieve getting nominated for 14 times in the last 40 years, and this is the first successful attempt. Who could think that a few words could rile up so much vitriol? Both heroes - and their respective gangs of followers - carry the weight of history. Doueiri is a superb director. I am so glad that a Lebanese movie was finally showcased in the world and I only dream of more to come.
Directed by Peter Segal. "The Insult" (2017 release from Lebanon; 112 min.) Wajdi Wehbe Diamand Bou Abboud. Their war starts small enough: Tony has an illegal pipe, which soaks Yasser. In short: it's one of the most intense Lebanese movies I've ever seen. But the revelation of the Christian Tony's past enhances his character too. Thumbs up for Karam, Hayek and Diamand Bou Abboud.

And, how interchangeable the positions of religions are at interpreting the same events. In the second, Yasser baits Tony into punching him, so he goes into the court with his own aching pair of ribs. Camera Work: 16.8/20 It reminded me of the great Sidney Lumet movies with a touch of political background. 52 out of 72 found this helpful
Robert Smigel, Writer: Saturday Night Live. Certainly one of the best movies I've seen this year. 22 out of 42 found this helpful An apology.Plain and simple. Adel Karam, Kamel el Basha and Rita Hayek, among others, give outstanding performances. Most of the rest of us will probably learn a little something about the cultural and religious conflict between Lebanese Christians and Palestinians, something Americans (where I'm from) certainly don't ever learn much about unless we actively seek it out.
Both the woman lawyer and the woman chief judge tacitly personify the new Middle East, the emergence of empowered womanhood in that archly patriarchal society. 45 out of 65 found this helpful

The Palestinian may be given the greater sympathy and he's played as a more thoughtful, flexible figure. One of this year's Foreign Language Nominees at the Academy Awards, 'The Insult' is a heartbreaking story about divide, hate & circumstances. into the movie, but to tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.

The conflict in the story is very intriguing and Raw. Greetings again from the darkness. 60 out of 83 found this helpful Analogous to American Native peoples forcibly moving all non-Native Americans onto one of our smaller states. While this movie attempts to present both sides of the conflicts, it is not intended as a documentary and I am left with a sense that I am still unaware of the cultural, religious, and political strife's encroaching on this region. Both men suffer increasing and increasingly harsh consequences for their intransigence.
