Cast: Kais Nashef, Ali Suliman, Lubna Azabal, Amer Hlehel, Hiam Abbass, Ashraf Barhoum.Summary: Said and Khaled are walking time bombs. With explosives strapped to their bodies, the two young Palestinians slip into Israel, planning a suicide mission in Tel Aviv. Can anything or anyone change their minds? Paradise Now -- sweepingly powerful and intricately detailed, highly acclaimed and widely controversial -- tells the story of these two lifelong friends and their mission of doom. Hany Abu-Assad (the award-winning director of Rana's Wedding) directs this film, shooting the harrowing thriller at locations made equally harrowing by real-life missile attacks, exploding land mines, suspicious Palestinian factions, Israeli occupied forces, and the kidnapping of a crew member. The result is a film that knows its topic up close and provides no easy answers. Instead, Paradise Now lays bare the humanity and the horror for all to see, to ponder and perhaps to change. In Arabic with English subtitles. Includes: Theatrical Trailer, English/French/Spanish subtitles. (Warner Independent Pictures)Summary: The story of what may be the last 48 hours in the lives of two Palestinian men who have been recruited as suicide bombers. When they are intercepted at the Israeli border, a young woman who discovers their plan causes them to reconsider their actions.
