Lebanon and the fog of reconstruction
2018
The Man with the Golden Shoes [al-rajel du al-na'l al- dabī] (2000) is a documentary by the late Syrian director Omar Amiraley . The film provides a portrait of the former Prime Minister and architect of Lebanon’s post-war “reconstruction,” Rafik Hariri . It opens with a clip of a 10-story building in downtown Beirut collapsing from
an explosion . The building’s ruin is not by conflict but reconstruction, the planned detonation of dynamite at the structures foundation . A large cloud of dust rises from the collapsed building and the screen is engulfed in the fog of reconstruction . In Lebanon, the fogs of war and reconstruction have at times been difficult to distinguish .
