The Insult

L'insulte

In today's Beirut, an insult blown out of proportion finds Tony, a Lebanese Christian, and Yasser, a Palestinian refugee in court.

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year. Winner of Best Actor (Kamel El Basha) at the Venice Film Festival.

"...a crackling legal thriller that boils down centuries of Middle Eastern conflict into one reckless insult - and lets the sparks fly." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
