Le jour est la nuit captures a moment of tension in Beyrouth during the spring of 2020, right at the heart of Lebanon's socio-political turmoil. Ghassan Salhab's documentary has this haunting air, a quiet reflection on the state of a nation seemingly in limbo. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the audience to feel the weight of collective unrest. The visuals are stark yet poetic, using natural light to evoke a sense of intimacy and distance simultaneously. It's compelling to see how the camera lingers on everyday scenes, infused with a palpable sense of uncertainty. Salhab's approach feels more like a conversation than a lecture, making viewers ponder the lingering effects of upheaval without providing all the answers. Quite distinct.
