O Paraíso Deve Ser Aqui

This is the right movie for anyone who is tired of "modern" comedies. Aside from its stunning Cinematography and extremely clever use of Music (the film has nearly no dialogue), its humour is highly intelligent, not always obvious, and i must say that i was delighted to see it on the big screen.

Beautifully shot end edited! I felt the story is incomplete. felt like hours and waiting for something to happen. Disappointed with the ending. it could have been great! as a Palestinian living in Palestine, it doesn't reflect reality as it is.

If you have the patience for the editing style and the focus on symbolism without much dialogue then you will have a great time. I laughed a lot about this Tati-like observer watching one absurd scene after the next. The humor has a deadpan Jarmusch-style delivery that draws you in at first and then makes you laugh throughout the movie. Most of the scenes pose as symbols for European culture, the situation in the Middle-East and the lack of a proper home for Palaestinians. There are more layers. With one viewing you will not get every aspect of it but that is totally fine. It is still a delight.

Excellent film , very well produced, and a poetic view of our crazy world

How to speak about Palestine with comedy?

Suleiman uses absurdity to reflect about the contradictions in New York and Paris. Militarism, exile as seen in his homeland are elsewhere.

The movie is beautifuly directed and edited.
