They want us to simplify the complexity of the Syrian war for western audiences, I refuse to do that. They want films from Syria to be explanatory and informative and not a film with storytelling, with a personal point of view.
What resulted was Nezouh, her carefully choreographed, at times dreamlike and unconventional film about a Syrian family reluctant to leave a besieged neighborhood... exposed to the outside world.
The film shows no one dying and there is no sign of bloodshed on the screen, while the usual action scenes typically dominating Middle Eastern war movies are missing. Instead, by combining dark humor and magical realism, Kaadan delivers a delicate human story.
