Forgiveness

MECHILA follows the comical misadventures of a couple of thieves, reformed or at least semi-reformed, are trying to recover their stash of loot. One of the thieves is a bumbler, but when he makes a mistake it's always the other thief who suffers for it.

This is a neo-burekas movie. It could have been made forty years ago with Yehuda Barkan and Gabi Amrani, but it would have had less explicit violence and a lot less respect for its female characters. Here, the women are included not as decorations but as contributors to the theme of "mechila"-- forgiveness-- and the theme does come across strongly from behind the comedy.

When you post your synopsis in bad English it does not reflect well on the movie. It also gives no idea what the movie is about. I just got back from seeing the movie, it is a world class comedy. Kudos to the writers/directors. Love all your work.

I liked "Maktub", but I can't see how anyone can like this one. I went to see it in theater with my mother and my niece. All three of us were bored and disappointed. Asides from a few somewhat funny moments, it was mainly waiting for the time to pass. There was a break and we decided to leave the theater. I haven't done this in many years.
