Elia Suleiman, Palestine & France, 2002, 92min, in Arabic, English, and Arabic, Hebrew, and English with English subtitles)

A love story takes place between a Palestinian man living in Jerusalem and a Palestinian woman from Ramallah. The man – E.S. – shifts between his ailing father and his love life, trying to keep both alive. A dark comedy in the style of Jacques Tati or Buster Keaton, Suleiman’s Divine Intervention pokes fun at tragic situations and encourages the audience to do the same in ironic, imaginative scenes about garbage, neighbors, and dating.
