Episode 15: Capernaum -- Childhood and (lack of) Innocence

Cut to Scene!

This episode is the one we enjoyed recording the most!

We talk about Capernaum, a 2018 Lebanese Arabic language film co-written and directed by Nadine Labaki, with the other writers being Jihad Hojeilly and Michelle Keserwany in collaboration with Georges Khabbaz and Khaled Mouzanar. Mouzanar also produced the film and did the background score. It stars Zain Al Rafeea, Yordanos Shiferaw among others. We talk how the film takes a dark comedy premise and places it in a realist environment with much success. We also geek out about Labaki's direction and filmmaking method, which we were extremely inspired by. Lastly, we also talk of our own privileges and our lessons from the film in that context.

Capernaum is streaming on Netflix -- go watch in right now; you won't regret.
