Good film . . . but WHAT was that ending?!

The film also brought back some bad personal examination memories, in that the makers obviously suddenly realised that they only had five minutes running time remaining in which to squeeze-in the last ten years of Shloime's life!

Yael Abecassis is as lovely as ever, however, and worth the entrance money on her own (didn't you just want to slap her son, though?!).

Israel is now producing high quality films on a regular basis. To anyone who enjoyed this, I would highly recommend "Nina's Tragedies" (the best Israeli film I have seen).

This is a truly great film, perhaps the first Israeli film to enter that category. It is, at once, funny and sad, raucous and sensitive. It beautifully encapsulates the bizarre realities of life in modern Israel, and vividly captures the many moods and faces of Tel-Aviv. Woody Allen would have been proud, even in his heyday, to have produced such a humorous and moving piece. And the acting is just terrific.

I am quite frankly amazed that 3 people found Gadi I's comments ("A nice movie! nothing more") helpful. I cannot comprehend why he finds the Nadav character to be "negative" for "peeking at his aunt" - Anat Zorer is drop-dead gorgeous, and if I had had an aunt who looked like that when I was a post-pubescent teenager, I wouldn't have been able to STOP "peeking" at her! To say that the movie is "just not that good" beggars belief.

Whether you are Israeli or not - and even if you have never been to Israel - if you haven't seen this movie, what are you waiting for?!
