Gaza Mon Amour
GAZA MON AMOUR is essentially a film about late-in-life love prevailing under occupation. Incredibly life-affirming when you read between the lines— pursuing love despite restrive realities, threat of jail; the younger generation do not have time for goodbyes when escaping illegally, 3 miles of sea, ending the film in laughs etc. Haim Abbass and Salim Dau give solid performances. The absurdist bronze status subplot is likely a metaphor on the state of Palestine; assessed, chipped piece-by-piece, broken, to be sold, reward pending.
