Divine Intervention (2001)
Director: Elia Suleiman
Rating: NR
Length: 92 min.
Genre: Drama/Comedy

          Manal Khader

Evaluation: ****
Analysis: This film is extremely complex, but also extremely powerful. It examines the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from the perspective of an Israeli who loves the Palestinians. It offers images of a land where goodwill has been assaulted and where only the three monotheistic religions can establish a lasting peace.
Recommended for mature, thoughtful adults, particularly those interested in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
