From Beyrouth with Love is not a fiction nor a documentary. One of the best way to describe it would be "filmed diary" or "notes on a town". Don't expect to "learn" anything about Libanese wars in this movie : no talking head appears in it. You're suppose to feel that people were pushed down this building you see in the sunset. And thank to a really remarkable super 16 photography, you might, if you don't focus too much on the corny poetry at the end. So, if you have half an hour to visit one of the most interesting city on earth, just go for it: From Beyrouth is a beautiful love letter... with a little corny poetry at the end, as a postcard of a building in the sunset, when you're not suppose to know that people have been pushed down from it. A real testimony about today's love.
