Press review

“Jocelyne Saab’s latest film, which she has just finished shooting, is a love story between characters, and between these characters and Beirut. An initiation to love on the one hand, a tribute to creative freedom on the other.”

Noun, August-September 2009

“Music and poetry are central to Jocelyne Saab’s latest film. Few words, lots of internal dialogue, and the music tells the story. But what is this film made of music and poetry?”
