Nadine Labaki's appearance is very outstanding. In addition to the deep eyes of the Middle Eastern women's own eyeliner, the figure is also tall and stylish
. In the film "Capharnaüm", director Nadine Labaki focused the lens on the suffering lives of refugee children in the Middle East. Through adequate preparation and near-realistic methods, it brought a strong spiritual impact to the audience
. This film is another successful interpretation of Nadine Labaki's realism theme. As a Lebanese, each of her films is aimed at Lebanese society and presents the real problems of ordinary people, whether it is the refugee problem, the sale of children, or the arranged marriages of girls in the film. They are all true portrayals of Lebanon and many countries in the world .
