'Objects of War' is an intriguing documentary directed by Lamia Joreige that approaches the Lebanese war through personal artifacts. Each subject offers a unique object, and from there, they weave their own narratives, creating a kaleidoscope of experiences. The film doesn’t aim for a grand historical narrative; instead, it feels more intimate, almost like a collection of whispered secrets shared in a dim room. The pacing drifts, sometimes lingering on a memory longer than you might expect, but that’s part of its charm. The rawness of the testimonials, paired with the diverse objects, really highlights how personal history intertwines with collective memory. It’s a distinctive piece that challenges one’s perception of storytelling and history.
