FILM—THE VISITOR
The Visitor, a film by director/writer Thomas McCarthy, is a simple and moving film that tells the story of four people whose lives become intertwined. There’s Walter, a 62-year-old white economics professor who is sort of going aimlessly through life, more dead than alive. Walter, sent by his college to deliver a paper at a conference in New York City, discovers that two immigrants, Tarek, a drummer from Syria, and Zainab, his Senegalese girlfriend who sells handmade jewelry at flea markets, are living in his apartment. As the film unfolds, the characters interact and bring into each other’s lives part of the picture of this world we live in, in ways that are surprising but also real.

When a disaster happens, Walter is compelled to decide whether he will stay with Tarek, Zainab, and Tarek’s mother, Mouna; or look away from wha t is happening. This award winning film is a must-see.
