Cinematic Response Through Visual Cues: Exploring The Cinematic Language In Capernaum (2018) And It Must Be Heaven(2019)



Authors : Yousfi Zakia .

Abstract

Film is a cultural form with natural quasi-fictional qualities. The observational quality of visual arts, such as photography and cinema, grants them a sense of credibility. Films are meant to provoke, to expose, and investigate. No matter the genre, films have a propensity for recreating realities and framing the struggles of the people. Arab cinema seems to carry a militant essence due to the mould it was forged in. Lebanese and Palestinian filmmakers tend to use the cinematic medium to incarnate the past, the present and times yet to come. Nadine Labaki`s Capernaum (2018), and Elia Suleiman`s It Must Be Heaven (2019) offer visually rich cinematic fabrics as a response to middle eastern crises and their transcendence. The cinematic language in both films artfully articulates the central themes, from societal concerns tackled in Capernaum which serves as a commentary on a brutal reality, to It Must Be Heaven which raises questions about displacement, attachment, and belongingness. An eclectic shot by shot analysis aims to assess the extent to which the cinematic language in both films has carefully orchestrated an expressive content that is efficiently verbose.
