The Culturist Film Club and Vinyl Souk present: We Loved Each Other So Much
WE LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH
Jack Janssen, 2003, 80 min, Arabic with English subtitles
We Loved Each Other So Much portrays the love of diverse Beirut inhabitants for Fairuz. Through the music, and the myths that grew around Fairuz, they tell their life stories, and narrate the tragic, stirring history of their city. Their reminiscences, combined with Fairuz's songs and her story, provide a moving commentary on Lebanon's tumultuous history, traces of which are still visible in Beirut's devastated cityscape and bullet-scared building.
Today Fairuz is a cultural phenomenon whose appeal has spread far beyond the Arab world. Offering viewers a revealing and captivating introduction to this singer, and her place in Lebanese history and culture, the film also powerfully shows how music and the emotions it stirs can transcend political and religious differences.
"Offers many wonderful moments, both light and intense. Fairuz's songs seem to make the difficult situation of the Middle East easier for everyone."—Al Jadid: A Review & Record of Arab Culture and Arts
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
