Persona Non Grata (Oliver Stone, 2003 Documentary) DVD NEW/SEALED

Oliver Stone (Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, JFK) and his team take you to Israel and Palestine. The conflict seems to have no end except in a near distant future where the winner stand alone and the losers falls together. As visually moving as with any other Stone movie and with impressing cutting-techniques of a flow of images paralleling the interviewees’ dialogs which provides a very interesting summary of the Israel/Palestinian conflict through the leading persons’ stories on both sides. All this backed up with an esoteric soundtrack. He puts lots of weight on the Israel leaders’ stories and the hunt for an interview with Yasser Arafat is portrayed. He also tries to balance interviews with civilians on the street from both sides along with a very intimate meeting with masked “freedom fighters”, mostly young people with a normal life. It’s clear that the conflict is about two people who are “sick & tired” and desperately show their powerlessness.
