One of the most amazing and revelatory experiences I've ever had in a movie theater occurred three weeks ago at a multiplex in suburban New Jersey. The occasion was a subscription series of upcoming releases where I sometimes moderate post-screening discussions. I faced the task in this instance, I'll admit, with a certain amount of trepidation. The order of the evening involved showing a Palestinian-made drama about suicide bombers - one that doesn't explicitly condemn the practice, to boot - to an audience that was American, middle class and, according to the series' organizer, overwhelmingly Jewish. Those same corporate media have responded to Paradise Now with a revealing cautiousness. Yes, the film has received almost universal praise - in the reviews pages. What's missing, in ...

The film, directed by Palestinian director [Hany Abu Assad] from a screenplay he wrote with Bero Beyer, the film's Dutch producer, chronicles the 48 hours before two best friends in Nablus are sent on a suicide mission to Israel. The New York Times said it "accomplishes the tricky feat of humanizing the suicide bombers depicted in the film". The paper dubbed the film "a taut, ingeniously calculated thriller". The program of the festival was divided into 13 themed programs, including "Arabian Nights", "Arabian Shorts", "Cinema from the Subcontinent", "Insights from Asia", "In Honor of Africa" and "Cafe Europe". The festival also includes "Operation Cultural Bridge" that includes [Albert Brooks]' new film "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World, " Dubai's first world premiere of a Hollywo...
Hany Abu-Assad, a Palestinian born in Nazareth in 1961, is the director and co-writer of the ominously distinctive import "Paradise Now," which observes the bungled mission of two young Palestinians from Nablus who have volunteered to be suicide bombers and are bound for Tel Aviv. The filmmaker moved to Amsterdam in 1980 to study engineering while living with an uncle who had established a family outpost in Europe many years earlier. He worked in the aircraft industry in Holland before pursuing a film career.
Hoberman reviews directed by Hany Abu-Assad.
Paradise Now, political drama, CCA Cinematheque, 982-1338, in Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles, rated PG-13 As the closing credits for director Hany Abu-Assad's Paradise Now crawl up the screen, it comes as a bit of a jolt to spot the standard studio disclaimer with the obligatory legalese: "The people in this film are fictional. Any similarity to actual people and events is unintended.
While this doesn't seem to make any sense on the surface, the Jewish response to Steven Spielberg's latest film, "Munich," which, just like "Paradise Now," is also up for an Oscar, angered Jewish fundamentalists because his movie, as he put it to Newsweek, allows "Palestinians simply to have dialogue." Spielberg hasn't made a decent movie since "Goonies. What's more, there's the possibility of Israeli involvement. While the Israeli embassy denied involvement, it's in their interests not to be seen to be involved because it wouldn't do for the Middle East's "only democracy" to be seen interfering with one of democracy's grand pillars. Besides, who would benefit the most from slanted, pro-Israeli media? Just because the New York rabbis and the Jewish state can't play fair, doesn't mean t...
