I always like the move of Gérard Depardieu who is really a good actor. He is always sincere in his movie, that's the reason it moves me. No matter he acts a bad man or good man.
Gérard Depardieu plays well the part of Alana Gaash as a middle-age man who shows great tolerance for his wife and even the couple love life.
The thing I didn't think of is the environment of Isreal which shall not be that bad in my imagine. It shall be more beautiful.
And both the actor and actress act like normal people which gives no "show" factors.
All in all, I like it.
