Filmed over three years on the borders between Iraq, Kurdistan, Syria and Lebanon, this sublime Oscar-shortlisted doc captures the everyday life that lies in the aftermath of war. Acclaimed director Gianfranco Rosi (Fire at Sea) takes us on a profound cinematic journey through the heart of the Middle East, capturing the landscapes and people that have been shaped by the ravages of tyranny, invasions and terror, most recently inflicted by ISIS. But with chaos and despair, there is also peace and light. A mosaic of intimate moments and luminous images, Notturno shows us a world that endures beyond its scars.
