IT MUST BE HEAVEN (2019)
Dir Elia Suleiman | 102 mins | France | Qatar | Germany

ES escapes from Palestine seeking an alternative homeland, only to find that Palestine is trailing behind him. The promise of a new life turns into a comedy of errors: however far he travels, from Paris to New York, something always reminds him of home. From award-winning director Elia Suleiman, a comic saga exploring identity, nationality and belonging, in which Suleiman asks the fundamental question: where is the place we can truly call home?

‘Stylishly made with a distinctive signature.’
‘For Suleiman, comedy is a kind of rhetorical non-violence…it points you in the direction of a political situation…’ Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian
