ABOUT THE FILM
Jocelyne Saab’s The Razor’s Edge is one of the documentary filmmaker’s few narrative features. It tells the story of platonic love between a young refugee from southern Lebanon and a painter depressed by the ongoing Lebanese Civil War. The characters traverse spaces that have now disappeared, taking viewers into corners of Beirut not often shown in films made during the conflict. Presented in a new 4K restoration, The Razor’s Edge merges narrative structure with astute documentary precision to display the social impacts of violence on Lebanon during the war. 1985, Lebanon/France, DCP, in Arabic and French with English subtitles, 102 min.
