Still Burning

About This Movie

Still Burning captures a nuanced emotional landscape painted against the backdrop of Paris in '98. The reunion of André and Walid is fraught with unspoken history, and you really feel the weight of their past. The film delves into the complexities of friendship shaped by trauma, particularly through the lens of their shared passion for cinema. It's not just about their artistic aspirations, but also how the civil war in Beirut irrevocably altered their lives. The pacing is reflective, allowing time for the audience to absorb the depth of their dialogue. Performances are understated yet powerful; there's something raw and genuine about the way their relationship unfolds, making it distinct in a world of more commercial storytelling.
