Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A bit like Divine Intervention, this interesting Palestinian movie locates a vein of absurdist comedy in the impossible conditions in occupied East Jerusalem. Like a screwball heroine, Rana must be wed before the day is out, or she'll have to leave the country with her father. Fortunately, she has a likely candidate in mind. Unfortunatetly, he's not answering his mobile and when she tracks him down he's in Ramallah. The conceit may be stretched a bit thin, but there are some very striking sequences here, like the clever little riff on surveillance cameras.Author: TCh
