Britain's What's On Event Guide
Stafford Film Theatre: Palestine 36
PALESTINE 36
Annemarie Jacir / UK / 119 min / Cert 12A
Starring Jeremy Irons as High Commissioner, this sweeping historical drama tackles a moment of profound change: the year 1936, when the Great Palestinian Revolt broke through the complacency of British colonial rule. At the centre of the story is Yusuf (Karim Daoud Anaya), a young man from the village who serves as a connector between urban and rural. worlds when he becomes the protégé of a wealthy patron in Jerusalem. Director Jacir doesn't spare any upsetting detail in documentary-style. Consequently, the film shakes off any remaining comforting period drama gloss to speak directly, arrestingly, to today. BFI
