Introduction

1001 movies you must see before you die. Must I? Let's see.

My name is Dagmar and I am from Czech Republic. I have a bachelor's degree in screenwriting. I study movies. I watch movies. I write about movies. I kind of mention movies a lot. I even cross stitch things I like in movies. My views on cinema could be described as peculiar. My views on the "1001 movies" list as complicated. It happens a lot that I get the feeling it wasn't that necessary to see some particular movies. Sometimes I'm really grateful I saw them. And there are also times when I don't watch any new movies for six months straight. And they keep adding new movies every damn year so I might have to never die to watch them all.

What's the score right now?
606/1245 - That's 639 left to see.
I started this experiment on July 3rd 2009 and the latest update was made on April 19th 2023.

Capernaum (2018)

 Cafarnaúm
Lebanon/France/USA
directed by: Nadine Labaki
written by: Nadine Labaki, Jihad Hojeily, Michelle Keserwany
starring: Zain Al Rafeea, Boluwatife Treasure Bankole, Yordanos Shifera
seen on 21st April, 2020

Only someone who really has no faith in the potencial audience of this film can compare Capernaum to Slumdog Millionaire.  I will have to think about this some more but it seems to me that Nadine Labaki uses her characters as things and not as people and that does not make me comfortable.
