A cinematic paean to Beirut and a journey into the collective audiovisual memory of Lebanon and its people, making use of film and television clips, home movies, and photographs drawn from private and public archives, materials spanning some 70 years of turbulent history. (Among the film’s parade of faces is that of director Jocelyne Saab, subject of a concurrent Metrograph series, visiting the wreckage of her former home, reduced to rubble in a 1982 Israeli air strike.) The glorious product of reclamation and meticulous research, and an urgent dispatch from an embattled nation, Do You Love Me proffers a people’s history that eschews linear chronology to offer instead a rich rhyming network of generation-crossing associations. A film of intimacy and alienation, of destruction and renewal, of grief and resilience.
