Ahed's Knee (2021) (MOME or Movies Of the Middle East #4)

Snobbies! Welcome…to the end of Movies Of the Middle East, or MOME as we’ve been calling it. Tonight we have a special guest COLIN! who hasn’t been on the pod since Do The Right Thing two years ago! Tonight’s pick comes from Jared and is by director Nadav Lapid, “Ahed’s Knee.” This film, coming out of Israel, tackles a possibly autobiographical story about something the director went through while featuring a film. The film deals with nationalism, censorship, a director’s voice, as well as many interesting camera choices that had us scratching our heads….sometimes in a good way! Anyway, we enjoyed talking through this film and we hope you Enjoy also!
