Must be Heaven (2019)

From Palestine to Europe, as a bystander, every scene and shock he sees is so intense and dramatic, and the director uses an almost nonsensical way to infinitely magnify this conflict and metaphor to the audience's photos

The theme throughout is obviously profound and sad, but he does not let you face this pain directly, but gently leads you into his sadness through a path that is not very clear, unconsciously. , infiltrating the theme into you in the nonsensical jokes again and again, it is your sadness that can be touched by every aftertaste of yours.

I was just very interested in what he was discussing about hometown, but I was surprised to find this work, which is endlessly gentle, whether it was a picture or a concept, it was really happy.

As for the question I was looking for at the beginning, I also got my own ingenuity from the film. Thanks to this work, it brought me the joy of the moment and the long-term thinking.

    #SIFF22# The whole face is paralyzed and looks at the world indifferently, while people in the world have poker faces, mechanical movements, and ridiculous behaviors. This is the most vivid display in the world today. The film's ideological score is high, and the director's aesthetic taste is also worthy of praise. At the end, I came out of the disco with the Buddha, and my whole body went high to the beat of the drums. This is the viewing experience.

It Must Be Heaven quotes

  • Professor: First... Welcome to New York, It's good to have you here at our school. I will start by asking you to share with us your experience as a filmmaker and to speak about the ways of being and feeling that have or have not permitted you to achieve... the conditions of becoming what we call a citizen of the world. Is you sense, your identity... of place a thing of the past? Has your nomadic existence extinguished your love of one place? And extended it to a love of all places? In other words are you a perfect stranger?
