Synopsis

Through 70 years of found footage, home movies, and media archives, Beirut's vibrant soul emerges - revealing intimate moments of joy and loss that shaped Lebanon's cultural memory, despite the absence of official records.

Moviegoers are saying

Lana Daher's 'Do You Love Me' is a deeply personal archival documentary that took 7 years to create, weaving together 2000+ sources to tell Beirut's fragmented history through an emotional lens rather than political narrative. Audiences are split between those who find it a profound act of collective memory preservation and others who see it as a well-crafted but emotionally distant collage that feels made primarily for diaspora viewers.

Amazing work with archives, editing and sound design. Knowing that the work on the film took 7 years and that Lebanon doesn’t have an archive made me appreciate the film even more! I was so surprised how uplifting the film felt in the end, considering the heavy history (no…

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to rate this film. I feel like this is supposed to be watched as a retrospective, a look back at a past Lebanon and a plea for the future. But it’s a little hard to do that with an israeli drone buzzing above the theater and the south of…

I watched this with my 92-year-old grandfather who has lived the war. He cried and said he felt like he had seen this film before, like he was watching his own life. A film that resists collective erasure. A film for the people of Beirut who remember. Thank you Lana, you…

How do you tell a history you didn't know existed? In Do You Love Me, director Lana Daher strives to create a history of her home city of Beirut and in the process take the viewer on an intense and intimate journey. Growing up, Daher didn't realize that she herself was a…

A collage film about Beirut. Mildly interesting, quickly edited, but unfortunately neither historically very insightful nor emotionally moving. The very short running time helps. Not essential viewing in the cinema; it will be shown on ARTE at some point.

Pero qué manera tan bella de retratar la vida cotidiana y la memoria colectiva de un país que ha sufrido guerras durante gran parte de su existencia. A pesar de estar construida a partir de cientos de materiales audiovisuales, consigue contar una historia propia, sobre un…
