1996年威尼斯电影节Luigi De Laurentiis奖1997年西雅图国际电影节新导演奖介绍：亚洲这部貌似简单而带有记录风格的影片描绘出巴勒斯坦爱国电影人Elia Suleiman的个人寻根之旅。影片分成两部分。第一部分记录下拿撒勒古城中荒谬而寂静的阿拉伯地区。第二部分则用一种相对政治化的眼光观察这个城市，亚洲而Elia Suleiman在这部分扮演较为积极的角色。他来到自己的出生地找寻灵感，但他所看到的却是阿拉伯人民深陷在文化身份危机中的一幅幅凄惨的画面。最为显著的一个例子：一位阿拉伯少女想要在自己的城镇里获得比传统妇女更独立的地位，然而却因为居住在犹太区的居民怀有偏见而无法实现。
