'I Want To See In English', it turns out that this is a documentary, while we watched it as fictional. Though it may not be entirely truthful, at the same time. It's difficult to say. Catherine Deneuve is driven around South Lebanon in an afternoon by a Lebanese actor. They chat away in French, look at the bombed out remains of Lebanon. It's not a beautiful landscape, but tells story's of humanity. Little incidents, a wrong turning, trying to get a permit to film, are interesting diversions.
It's really impossible to know what to make of this film. It's a diverting little time, it makes as aware of the human aspects of the issues, if we had been tempted to ignore them by the neutral reportage and overflow of information we recieve. It's not though really possible to analyse it as a film. Probably worth seeing, maybe.
