Paradise Now garnered an Oscar nomination yesterday. Although the Oscars are complete piffle, this film is worth seeing, if only to get an idea of what Nablus (where the film was partially shot) looks like. It really is a beautiful city.
I saw the film at the VIFF this year, and although I didn't think it was director Hany Abu-Assad's best film (see his imperious Ford Transit), I hope it wins just so it will get a wider release and more people will watch it. As a prize, I will also give a full review if it is successful in March.
