The Razor’s Edge (1985, DCP, 102m, Arabic, w/ English Subtitles) dir Jocelyne Saab
Presented in a new 4K restoration, Jocelyne Saab’s narrative feature, set amid the Lebanese Civil War, tells the story of a passionate teenager who forms a (mostly) platonic bond with an older abstract painter.

As a filmmaker known primarily for her documentary work, Jocelyne Saab’s The Razor’s Edge is one of her few narrative features. The film tells the story of platonic love between a young refugee from southern Lebanon and a painter depressed by the ongoing Lebanese Civil War. Through its story and characters, the film traverses spaces that have now disappeared, taking viewers into corners of Beirut not often shown in films made during the conflict. Presented in a new 4K restoration, The Razor’s Edge merges narrative structure with astute documentary precision to display the social impacts of violence on Lebanon during the war.

A Several Futures release. Presented in partnership with Several Futures and Metrograph.
