Sense of need

Shady Srour 2004 Fiction 90 min.

Nazarethborn Srour's autobiographical essay on identity between Israel,
Palestine and post 9/11 USA, is an intriguing debut. Mixing between a wide
range of visual formats, he offers a series of contemplations on an
identity crisis that appears as much artistic performance as eastwest
divide. Casting himself in a sequence of Christ cameos, Srour (who
describes his film as a "genius feature") moves between deafening
pretensions and selfparody without leaving the viewer knowing quite where
the line ought to be drawn.
