The Time That Remains (2009) Directed by Elia Suleiman.
"Now you do know the Palestinians are not the same thing as the Rebel Alliance?" - Atom & His Package, 2003.
'The Time That Remains' is divided into four episodes which follow a Palestinian family who decide to remain in their country after being taken over by Israeli armed forces. Spanning from 1948 to present day, the movie depicts life during these times in a darkly comic yet touching and emotional manner.
Director Elia Suleiman use of repetition and framing of certain scenes gives the movie a unique and quirky tone whilst we see characters grow and adapt during the invasion of Palestine.
Using beautiful cinematography and production design, 'The Time That Remains' is a dramatic and heartfelt movie, with no hidden political agenda.
(4 out of 5)
