In today’s Beirut, an insult blown out of proportions finds Toni, a Lebanese Christian, and Yasser, a Palestinian refugee, in court. From secret wounds to traumatic revelations, the media circus surrounding the case puts Lebanon through a social explosion, forcing Toni and Yasser to reconsider their lives and prejudices. International title: The Insult original title: L'Insulte country:,,, sales agent: year: genre: fiction directed by: screenplay:, cast:,,,,,,,, cinematography by: film editing: music: producer:,,,, line producer:, production:,,, Ezekiel Film Limited (LB), Cohen Media Group (US), Douri Films (LB) backing: CNC distributor. The Insult is the definition of a great cinematic achievement. It is the new movie directed by Ziad Doueiri and tells the story of Toni a Christian Lebanese who got into a fight from an insult blown out with a Palestinian plumber. Haunted by their past and the civil war, they went really far with it and the movie took unexpected turns and surprises. Doueiri and Touma wrote a splendid courtroom drama script that is really tense, exciting and really fair for the two sides. It reminded me of the great Sidney Lumet movies with a touch of political background.
