Review of Caramel (2007) by Fiv - — 27 Feb 2008

Finally wa this movie released and couldn't wait to see it. I'd say it was well worth it - 'rapidly' insightful at times - makes me smirk if not laugh about some of the finer intricacies of the Lebanese culture that only get magnified in a native milieu.

The combination of love/misery, Christian/Muslim, tradition/liberalism - all so commonplace and daily and yet... working together, despite the potential for an oxymoron... I have gone with a Lebanese and we both immensely enjoyed the film - hope to see more of Lebaki in the future!
