SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved The Time that Remains, try these.

Divine Intervention poster 01

Movie / 2002 / Drama

Divine Intervention

Why this pick

Suleiman’s earlier film shares the same exquisitely composed silences, deadpan humour and political observation, building a fractured Palestinian reality through vivid, near-wordless episodes.

Chronicle of a Disappearance poster 02

Movie / 1996 / Drama

Chronicle of a Disappearance

Why this pick

A foundational Suleiman work: elliptical domestic moments, comic estrangement and political absence merge into a portrait of Palestinian life shaped by memory and dislocation.

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence poster 03

Movie / 2014 / Drama / Comedy

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence

Why this pick

Its static, painterly compositions and dry, melancholy sketches offer a close match for Suleiman’s visual precision and ability to make absurdity quietly devastating.

Taxi poster 04

Movie / 2015 / Comedy / Documentary

Taxi

Why this pick

Panahi turns ordinary encounters into a witty, humane political mosaic, with the same light-touch resistance and sharp attention to everyday life under constraint.

The Man Without a Past poster 05

Movie / 2002 / Comedy / Drama / Romance

The Man Without a Past

Why this pick

Kaurismäki’s spare dialogue, stylised stillness and tender comic distance echo the poised melancholy of Suleiman’s filmmaking, while locating hope in small acts of solidarity.
