Of course, there’s no such thing as an objective list of the greatest movies of all time, but for many movie buffs, the IMDb Top 250 comes pretty close to such an idea. After all, it’s probably the largest movie list on the internet (and thus in general), compiled from the ratings of several million users. The average rating of the drama “The Condemned” is determined on the basis of more than 2.7 million votes.
But in addition to classics such as “The Godfather” and “Two Glorious Scoundrels” and celebrated films from the recent past such as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Interstellar”, insider tips are also included in the list – for example “Capernaum – City of Hope” at number 88, which ran in German cinemas in 2019. This puts the excellent drama right in front of classics like “Star Wars: Episode VI” and “2001”. A reason to recommend the film as a streaming tip.
Current one is “Capernaum – City of Hope” Amazon Prime Video can be streamed as a subscription through the Arthouse channel, which Prime customers can test for free. Alternatively, you can also rent or buy it from Prime Video.
This is “Capernaum – City of Hope”
Director Nadine Labaki tells the story of imprisoned 12-year-old Zain (Zain Al Rafeea) who sues his parents. His accusation: You gave birth to him. His request: parents should be forbidden to father more children.
To justify his case, Zain tells the story of his life and suffering…
The director puts her house on the line for the film
To do “Capernaum”, Nadine Labaki risked a lot. She and her husband even risked their home to finance the film, shot with amateur actors in slums and were rewarded. The film was a huge success worldwide, grossing almost $65 million, making it the highest grossing film in film history from the Arabic-speaking world.
Above all, “Capernaum” should not leave most people indifferent – on the contrary. The partly documentary-like drama has such an emotional power that many viewers will be exhausted afterwards. Above all, the excellent Zain Al Rafeea touches you with his playing so much that it tears your heart, with a pinch of humor at times.
The camera work of the German-Lebanese Christopher Aoun, who rightly received the German Camera Award, is also excellent. And did we mention that “Capernaum” has the best acting performance of a baby? You might not think so, but you definitely sign after the movie.
Hence our tip: Watch “Capernaum – City of Hope”! You will not only see one of the best films of all time according to the IMDb Top 250, but above all an exciting and compelling jewel!
