Le cerf-volant (2003)

English Title: The Kite 
Synopsis: Lebanese girl has an arranged marriage with a man that lives in Israeli territory, but falls in love with an non-Jewish Israeli soldier. 
Appraisal: This film has received some attention due to the fact that it comes from a country without relevant filmic output. It has an interesting geopolitical background and shows some aspects of the life near the Israeli border. Too bad that its style is so unengaging. There is little or no character development. The camerawork and editing is mostly poor. Some uneventful scenes seem to last forever. The insertion of songs is not particularly helpful. 
Rating: 35
