Omar

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Hard to say we enjoyed this disturbing Palestinian feature about resistance by three young men on the West Bank. Omar is a baker and he and two friends decide to take up arms against the occupying Israeli forces with life-altering consequences. Entirely from the Palestinian side, it paints a picture of Israeli brutality but not of flawless protagonists. Lives are altered and destroyed. It is an important and painful film and was, rightly, nominated for Best Foreign Language film of 2013 at the 2014 Oscars.
