The Insult (L’insulte)

112 mins | Ziad Doueri | Lebanon | 2017 | M violence, offensive language & content that may offend

In today's Beirut, a civilian dispute blown out of proportion finds Tony (Adel Karam), a Lebanese Christian, and Yasser (Kamel El Basha), a Palestinian refugee, facing off in court. As the media circus surrounding the case threatens a social explosion in divided Lebanon, Tony and Yasser reconsider their values and beliefs as revelations of trauma complicate their understanding of one another.

“A crackling legal thriller that boils down centuries of Middle Eastern conflict into one reckless insult – and lets the sparks fly.” – Rolling Stone
