A splendid, superbly acted, intelligently written film, about a nasty divorce proceeding lasting years in Israel. Wife versus husband is not unique, but in this case the struggle defines a culture. But the producers should fire those who were responsible for the subtitles. White subtitles on a white background are close to impossible to read. And the speed with which the subtitles appeared and disappeared was comparably frustrating. Given this flaw, not quite fatal, it was troubling to appreciate the subtlety and intelligence of the film itself. And that weakens the best intentions of all involved in making the film. Too bad. Given that inevitable frustration, the film does more than simply survive. Its impact is remarkable, once again suggesting that understatement in the expression of a vital subject works better than any hard line fury. This film is instructive for all filmmakers. In summary, I would recommend it to the widest range of friends and film scholars.
