The Insult

France, Cyprus, Belgium, Lebanon, USA 2017 | 113 minutes | Arabic | Hebrew subtitles

Beirut - a dispute between neighbors over the repair of a gutter escalates into a legal and national conflict. Ziad Doueiri triumphantly etches his characters, propels the audience’s sympathy between the adversaries, and respectfully presents local conflicts. The result is a brilliant combination of drama and irony and one of the best films of recent years.
