Time That Remains trailer_available@BelgacomTV

a film by Elia Suleiman, trailer edited by Marc Recchia An examination of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 through to the present day. The Time That Remains starts in 1948 in Palestine with the invasion by the Israeli armed forces. This event casts a long shadow over the entire movie. It’s a Palestinian account, occasionally a very personal account, of how life has continued since then. The movie is contending that in cultural terms there’s been a huge degradation, and people have lived in stasis, their lives not moving forward at all. The movie is a farce which reminds me of the Georgian cinematic tradition of military/political farces such as Brigands Chapter VII from Otar Iosseliani and Repentance from Tenghiz Abuladze. It’s very funny at times, and very deadpan, but at others it’s very poignant. For example there is literally a tug’o'war in a hospital corridor (shot from outside the building – a neutral absurd position typical of this film) between policemen and doctors concerning a wounded man on a gurney, who presumably is wanted for “questioning”. It’s an autobiographical film which is shot on a human level and is therefore a lot more palatable than other politically motivated movies on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It’s a film that takes place over many years, culminating in the present day. Over the period there’s a decline in health of the characters shown, and also in the cultural health, the young consume only American pop and films, gangsterism
