    Brilliant

    This is the right movie for anyone who is tired of "modern" comedies. Aside from its stunning Cinematography and extremely clever use of Music (the film has nearly no dialogue), its humour is highly intelligent, not always obvious, and i must say that i was delighted to see it on the big screen.

    OCD satisfying, but not the right message I believe.

    Beautifully shot end edited! I felt the story is incomplete. felt like hours and waiting for something to happen. Disappointed with the ending. it could have been great! as a Palestinian living in Palestine, it doesn't reflect reality as it is.

    A delight

    If you have the patience for the editing style and the focus on symbolism without much dialogue then you will have a great time. I laughed a lot about this Tati-like observer watching one absurd scene after the next. The humor has a deadpan Jarmusch-style delivery that draws you in at first and then makes you laugh throughout the movie. Most of the scenes pose as symbols for European culture, the situation in the Middle-East and the lack of a proper home for Palaestinians. There are more layers. With one viewing you will not get every aspect of it but that is totally fine. It is still a delight.

    3 similarities of the city

    Don't be fooled that it's a comedy movie. If you want to laugh, you'll be bored with this movie. An anti-militarism art film. Making you smile. I think it's beautiful

    Beauty, irony, fun and a heartfelt movie

    This is a movie that will bring you great delight, if you have a bit of patience; each scene is full of meaning, metaphors, symbols, and overwhelming beauty. Beauty of a country field or of an empty city, of the passers-by who seem on a catwalk, or of the nostalgic music. But it's not just pleasure, it's also fun and troubling at the same time, warning about the absurd taking over in all societies, about the disconnection in the middle of the crowd, about the fate of the artist who is left aside. There is hope though, as long as there are still people who care and who don't give up, like the director himself, faithful to his artistic choices, despite the pressure to take sides. The soul untamed by rules, like the angel chased by police in one scene. Oh, and the irony is everywhere, maybe at its best when Gael's character steps in. Pure joy of watching a movie with a heart. Definitely for authentic cinema lovers.

      Professor: First... Welcome to New York, It's good to have you here at our school. I will start by asking you to share with us your experience as a filmmaker and to speak about the ways of being and feeling that have or have not permitted you to achieve... the conditions of becoming what we call a citizen of the world. Is you sense, your identity... of place a thing of the past? Has your nomadic existence extinguished your love of one place? And extended it to a love of all places? In other words are you a perfect stranger?
