There are lots of good Israeli films playing in the movie
theaters in Jerusalem right now. I
highly recommend Foxtrot, Scaffolding, Longing and Maktub
– all of which have been reviewed previously on this blog.
There is one more playing right
now – The Burglar (הפורצת) by Hagar Ben-Asher -- about a teenage
girl, living in Arad, who discovers that her mother has suddenly left her. The
girl begins to break into apartments to obtain money in order to pay the rent
and to buy a motor scooter. Things
become weird when she uses the money to pay for a hotel room by the Dead Sea in
order to attract a visiting German geologist.
It is too bad that the film suffers from a lack of depth and little
character development, and therefore I would not put this on my list of recommended films.
