A SUSPENDED LIFE was a pleasure to watch. The camera follows (often alaFrançois Truffaut) the activities of Samar — a slender, feminine,beautifulyoung teenager. Her attractive essence is in striking contrast to theruinsand violence around her as she navigates war-torn Beirut. Samar tries tobea good daughter to her family. She tries to help her younger friends andkeep them safe. She finds her first romantic love. Hala Bassam does a fine job as Samar. The other supporting charactershaveplenty of depth to keep them interesting. The music works well with the visuals — and the visuals are sometimesstylish, sometimes fanciful, but always amazing. The ending is less than pleasing, but as the director takes poeticlibertiesfrom time to time, perhaps the viewer should not take the ending at facevalue. Rank = 9. Highly recommended. |
