Beirut, Oh Beirut is a 1975 Lebanese drama film set in the turbulent aftermath of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The film follows four young Lebanese navigating a society whose political and social foundations are crumbling beneath their feet. As old certainties dissolve and new allegiances form, the characters grapple with questions of identity, ideology, and belonging in a city on the edge. Remarkably prescient, the film is widely considered an extraordinary anticipation of the Lebanese Civil War that would soon engulf the country — the conflict began while the film was still being edited. A landmark of Lebanese cinema, it captures a generation caught between hope and impending catastrophe.
