Why watch the movie The Insult?
"A movie that fits the classic cinema mold - bringing a more controversial and very current theme. In the plot, we follow the trial between a Lebanese and a Palestinian refugee, both living in Beirut, the capital and main city of Lebanon. In this context, within the Middle East, we are presented with strong religious issues, traditions and human relationships. In addition to the theme, the assembly of 'The Insult' is intriguing and full of tension, under the command of director Ziad Doueiri - who may have few films in his resume, but who has worked as a camera assistant on several films by Quentin Tarantino."
