Belgian director Phillippe Van Leeuw's second film, born in the 1950s, is not a young filmmaker. He worked as a photographer for quite a long time and worked closely with Dumont and others. The film was shown in the panoramic unit of the 2017 Berlin Film Festival and won the audience Choice Award for that unit. The theme of the film is still related to the war in Lebanon, but the director does not depict the head-on conflict between the warring sides, but finds another way to observe the cruelty of the situation in a confined space. The whole story unfolds in a residential area of Beirut, where the camera never leaves the heroine Oum Yazan's apartment, where a large family fleeing the war continues their frightened daily lives, and every decision they make can be a matter of life and death. Captivity is a very thoughtful work with excellent rhythm, screenwriting, photography and performance. It is patient, restrained and powerful.
