An examination of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 through to the present day. A semi-biographic film, in four chapters, about a family spanning from 1948 until recent times. Combined with intimate memories of each member, the film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained in their land and were labelled "Israeli-Arabs," living as a minority in their own homeland.

Introduction to the End of an Argument
(1990)
This highly kinetic tableaux of uprooted sights and sounds works most earnestly to expose the racial biases concealed in familiar images. Relying on valuable snippets from feature films such as "Exodus", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Black Sunday", "Little Drummer Girl", and network news shows, the filmmakers have constructed an oddly wry nar...

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
To keep a steady gaze, the film suggests, is not just a virtue but a form of orderly protest, when your world is breaking apart.
– Anthony Lane,
New Yorker,
18 Jan 2011
rotten:
Suleiman's obvious gift for cinema makes you wish that in connecting so personally with his past, he'd occasionally reach out to the audience, too.
– Adam Markovitz,
Entertainment Weekly,
19 Jan 2011
fresh:
Despite its abundance of deadpan and absurdist humor, "The Time That Remains," a look at the Arab-Israeli conflict from a Palestinian perspective, was clearly made with a sorrowful heart.
– Walter V. Addiego,
San Francisco Chronicle,
4 Feb 2011
fresh:
Living in a part of the world where politics, and the pursuit of politics by warring means, are the rule, director Elia Suleiman is the exception.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
4 Feb 2011
fresh:
Suleiman takes the approach of gentle observer, neither condoning nor confronting -- not violently, at least. Start with humor and perhaps empathy will follow.
– Peter Howell,
