NOTTURNO (Gianfranco Rosi 2020)
NOTTURNO Opens Today, Friday, Jan. 22, 2021, in Virtual Theaters & Jan. 29, 2021 On Demand
Of all the year's documentaries, this one is the most universal and the most haunting. It's wide-ranging content focuses on the longtime violence that has wracked the Arab Middle East. With extraordinary access it takes us to Iraq, Kurdistan, Syria and Lebanon and shows us intimately how as the director says, "greed and ambition" have led to "military coups, corrupt regimes, authoritarian leaders and foreign interference" and then to "tyranny, invasions and terrorism" in a "vicious circle" - feeding off each other and leading to endless suffering. And yet amid all this horror there is beauty. A great and underappreciated film.
