The Time That Remains (2009) By Elia Suleiman
109min
English subtitles

Elia Suleiman, born in Nazareth in 1960, is a filmmaker shaped by exile and resistance, drawing heavily on his own family's experiences for this film. "The Time That Remains" is rooted in his father's diaries, a resistance fighter during the Nakba, and the letters his mother wrote to relatives forced into exile. These fragments of memory form the spine of a story that spans decades. "The Time That Remains" is the last part of Elia Suleiman's film trilogy, which consists of his three feature films. These works, often considered a cycle of resistance against a colonial state, explore Palestinian existence after the 1948 Nakba through displacement, exile, and belonging, employing magical realism, minimal dialogue, and a deadpan comedic style. Unlike the episodic humour of "Chronicle of a Disappearance" or the surreal satire of "Divine Intervention", this film cuts deeper. It's expansive, intergenerational - a portrait of displacement that is as personal as it is political.
