This Modern Man Is Beat (2015)
Great film
This Modern Man is Beat is a very interesting film that uses ambiguity to keep the viewer guessing and involved. The splicing of moments from the past and present tell the story of Habib and his relationship with his girlfriend, going from very loving moments to more violent ones. This storytelling strategy works to intrigue the viewer and make them wonder what will happen next. As the story begins somewhat in the center of the events, there is no way of understanding the full picture until it has played out in its entirety, and when it does, the payoff is immense. The cinematography during the flashbacks of Habib and his girlfriend are beautifully shot and reflect the love the have for each other. Overall, this is a very well made film that lingers in your mind after viewing.
