    4/ Having children should never be about lowering your tax bracket, funding future pensions or boosting economic statistics. This reminds me of the powerful film Capernaum, where a 12-year-old boy sues his parents for neglect. #Fertility #LowFertilityRate

    I Watched: Capernaum (2018) A Lebanese film about a child who sues his parents for causing him to be born because life is terrible, mostly set in the extremely poor slums and shantytowns of Beirut. Very acclaimed but I agree with one critic who called it a "sadness pile." #Filmsky 📽️

    I've never seen Capernaum, it does sound intriguing. Monster I watched a few months ago and it was not an easy film to watch. I will add this film to the list. The director secretly filmed, while banned from filmmaking in Iran.

    The critic obviously didn't get the film then. Capernaum is about anger, hope, exploitation, resilience but not misery. As someone who loathes fake pathos and the maudlin I would be sensitive to that kind of failure. But personally thought it was phenomenal - a neo-Dickensian epic. ***** #Filmsky

    Painful to have to revise the introduction to my lecture-seminar on Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki's wonderful CAPERNAUM (2018). It can no longer be said to be set in 'contemporary' Beirut, even if the film's lessons about legacies of conflict and trauma are all too contemporary and relevant. 1/2

    I have huge gaps in my film knowledge. I try to correct them, by buying Battle of Algiers for instance, then get home and want to watch Die Hard 2. I’ve have Capernaum sat on my ‘To watch’ pile for about 3 years. I do love proper ‘cinema’ but my heart truly beats for genre films and always will.

    There’s something distinctly Dickensian about the urchin style of life lived by “Zain” (Zain Al-Rafeea) on the modern-day streets of Lebanon. He has to use his wits and guile, his charm and his youth to scrape a living after he ran away from his parents. He did this because they gave his beloved eleven-year-old sister to be married! He lucks out a little in that he quickly encounters “Rahil” (Yordanos Shiferaw) who is herself a refugee from Ethiopia and who needs some help looking after her…

I know this is a classic trope (even in #Anime), but WHY is Atticus constantly eating?!? Looking forward to commenting more on this one as I watch it, particularly one rather poignant and controversial scene. * * * The redemption/reconciliation story arc with Matthew and his parents is absolutely golden.

    I’m crying buckets after watching #Capernaum. What a heartbreaking story that might as well be a documentary. Set in #Lebanon, it is about a 12-year-old boy who has to live by his wits on the streets when his parents fail to care for him and his siblings properly. One of the best films I’ve ever seen. Directed by Nadia Labaki and starring the amazing child actors Zain Al Rafeea and Boluwatife Treasure Bankole. Currently streaming on #SBSonDemand (expiring very soon!)

    I wouldn't call it entertaining per se, but it's certainly provocative >I saw kids who are so neglected, so abused that there's nothing anymore in their eyes. These children don't laugh, don't cry, and don't play. If you put a toy in front of them, they don't touch it. They are just numb. There's no more childhood in their eyes. After seeing these kids many times, when they started to have a trusting relationship with me, I used to ask them, "are you happy to be alive?" Ninety-nine percent of…
