DEAR FRIENDS:

MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK- NONE

NEW MOVIES IN THEATERS AND/OR STREAMING-

1) IN THE IN THE SHADOW OF BEIRUT– 2025. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “IN THE SHADOW OF BEIRUT is a searing cinematic portrait of modern-day Lebanon as seen through the eyes of four families living in the impoverished Sabra and Shatila neighborhoods of the city, scene of an infamous massacre in 1982. Filmed over four years with unique access to the families within these largely no-go areas for outsiders, the documentary is marked by a deep intimacy with its subjects and a bold cinematic style, with much of its visual and character-led storytelling sharing creative DNA with the team’s earlier film, Gaza.”

1/15/25[ Excellent reviews for this documentary. TRDB.
