Paradise Now.

This photograph is not actually a still from the movie but is a photograph by Seamus Murphy who documented the making of the movie – read more about that here and see the rest of his pictures. Super interesting article about how much of this was filmed in Palestine and the environment wasn’t exactly friendly.

Now, I was sort of exhausted while watching this movie and had some issues getting through the first third totally … err, awake. But then I think it picked up or I found some reserve energy, and I did enjoy this. It is a very artful take on suicide bombing, while at the same time goes through pains to make it as truthful to the process as possible.
