A Hundred Faces for a Single Day

Rejecting all propagandistic or narrative convention, Ghazi combines documentary and abstract sequences with a series of discontinuous plot lines to organise an attack on the bourgeois decadence of Beirut’s political milieu. The film’s episodic structure, eerie sound design, and daring lead performance become a stinging critique of the revolution’s cultural and political elites. An avant-garde masterwork at its most iconoclastic and exhilarating.
