Devestatingly Therapeutic..
What can i say. Joseph Fares has managed to capture on film the experience of what it meant to be Lebanese and to be in Lebanon during the war. Away from any and all politicization, away from the savagery and brutality the film is able to project the “Human” face of what anyone of us would go through given the circumstances. I left in 1989 as well, but i was one of the fortunate ones and my family remained safe. What Joseph and Zozo (actor) were able to produce together was beyond remarkable. Beauty indeed is found in simplicity, so is power. Carmen Lebbos who plays zozo’s mother in this unfolding story is also able to bring the best of her game and i wouldn’t be surprised if the film is able to capture more than one home run at the Oscars. Goodluck 🙂 Hint: in Lebanon we call Joseph –> ZoZo 🙂

The good news are: Zozo isn’t “so-so”.
(r#104)

The bad news are: Zozo is crap! Yep, it’s happened again: a Swedish movie has ticked me off enough to make me write a review for it. The last time it happened was when I watched that nasty assault on the braincells “Tjenare Kungen” by Ulf Malmros. Damn you Swedish directors for wasting my time like this!

After changing film history with such epics as “Jalla Jalla” (you know that movie with, uh, that guy, which was so funny and touching and had that dad who knocked people down with his belly…uh…) and “Kopps” (yeah, I know, it was soooooo funny, right? Like, the bestest Swedish movie ever made, right?), Josef Fares decides to make the most personal of all his films: Zozo’s story is based on the director’s own life, as it depicts a boy escaping his war-ridden homeland to live in peace in Sweden. On paper it looks like a sure-fire “Best Foreign” Oscar winner, right? Unfortunately, there was a slight catch: Fares decided to direct the movie. Oh, and he cast Swedish actors for the lead roles. Whoops.

Edit: Granted, most of the actors are actually rather convincing, but they’re stuck with a script so unbelievably stupid it makes Jalla Jalla look like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

To its bare bones, “Zozo” is little more than a rehash of a million other, better films, ranging from typical Swedish school dramas to Saving Private Ryan, and it is riddled with ludicrous dream sequences which make you wonder if little Zozo recently arrived from Vietnam along with Jacob Singer. The plot works well enough as long as it actually goes somewhere, unfortunately as soon as Zozo arrives in Sweden it decides to take a lunch break and never comes back. What we’re left with are a few clichéd school drama scenes we’ve seen millions of times before. New guy has trouble fitting in. New guy gets bullied. New guy makes friends with nerdy guy. YAWN! Someone wake me up when it’s over. Josef Fares seems to be thinking the same thing. “Man this movie is dull, I better add another nonsensical hallucinatory sequence! Oh, and screw editing, continuity and closure, I’ll end the film with a scene that should have appeared somewhere during the middle ! Look at me, I’m Sweden’s answer to Kubrick!”

It’s a film that lazily begs for your pity and sympathy when it should be begging for your attention. It’s awkwardly cutesy (isn’t Zozo’s chicken the CUTEST THING YOU’VE EVER SEEN??? ^^ Wait, maybe we should get on with the plot? Nah.), dull, pointless, jumbled, and full of awkward preteen humour to appeal to the “Kopps” fans (the chicken said it was going to “chill” with some buddies and have a couple of beers OMFG that is SO FUNNY, Mr. Fares, what ever will you think of next?!).

The movie has little to say about the war itself, about school, about life as a kid, or about anything really. On the surface, it’s an Oscar movie. Too bad some of the acting is so awful, the direction so hopelessly bland, the musical score so pathetically forgettable, and the story so nonexistent. Without these petty flaws we’d be looking at a seriously great movie. As it is, I say it’s time we pull the plug on the Swedish movie industry. Run Zozo run!
