Ha-shoter

While the story may not be realistic, this film portrays in an effective way a conflict that is gnawing at Israeli society, nay, at its soul, from the inside. There is some very good and some not so good acting, but what sets the movie apart is its masterful cinematography. The sense of place and situation reveal a rare directorial talent. In his youth Lapid moved to France, fleeing the very unbearable intensity that now feeds his art. Good he's back. Israel needs the talent and vision of an artist like him.
