The legal dissolution of a marriage has been dramatic fodder for serious films throughout the years, including Kramer Vs Kramer and The Sum Of Us. Oh, and even a few comedies like The War Of The Roses (but it’s very, very dark). Husband and wife are treated equally in the court (when the lawyers aren’t able to work things out) as the judge and jurors decide how the union will end. But what about other countries, other cultures? What occurs when one spouse apparently has all the power in the proceedings? Such is the conflict in this new film set in Israel, where a trio of rabbis decide one woman’s fate. And since there’s no claims of adultery or physical abuse, the divorce decree can only happen if the husband will consent. That’s the main obstacle and conflict in Gett: The Trial Of Viviane Amsalem.
