    Pretentious

    What is with the camera wildly swaying left and right, up and down, back and forth to suggest POV's but then they're not? I'm 30 minutes into this nonsense and I'm going to give it another 10... Because I paid 4.99. It's the kind of film that is supposed to be highly critical of its country's censorship (or so I read!) then gets all the important awards by that same country's Film Academy.

    Good to see an Israeli film allowing self-criticism in a film seemingly approved by the authorities

    Most countries, including mine, would not allow a film that is critical of life and freedom in that country. The film comes alive in the last quarter, the first three quarters being seemingly absurd. Good performance by the lead actor Avshalom Pollak. However, the director's earlier work "Synoymes" was superior.

    My favorite sequence: The lead character, Y, a film director, swimming alone in a lovely waterbody in Gaza finding a carcass of a dead animal at the bottom. Encapsulates the entire film.
