Paradise Now Hany Abu-Assad 2005 Netherlands/Israel/Germany/France (1st time; big screen) Two Palestinian male friends are chosen for a suicide mission in Israel the following day… A rather lyrical and often tense film devoid of music, so it is presented rather coolly, and ultimately, to striking effect; the kind of film one could imagine Alain Delon in at his prime, though here, Kais Nashef, in the would-be Delon role, holds a complex, underplayed presence as the imprisoned male driven by his own determination to accept Fate. Its most poetic moments are when the camera lingers in silence on ambiguous faces, and tracks from a car a landscape scarred by politics and globalisation.
