Israeli cinema has wings. In recent years, quality products are increasing and rewards fall worldwide. Meduses , Waltz with Bashir, Lebanon (Golden Lion in Venice) and now Ajami, among dozens of others. We also note that the Israeli film that works is one that shows the pain, violence, the conflict of a society suffering. Faced with war, racism or hatred. It's probably a little sad but it ainsi.Pas room for any comedy. What sells is the pain. So deep and true here in Israel and Palestine.
And Ajami is no exception to the rule, this production israel and Palestine; conducted by Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani, has won a prize at the Mediterranean Film Festival of Valencia. (And another in London festival).
Ajami is a movie punch that evokes the intertwined fate of Jews, Christians and Muslims. Ajami is deeply moving as it is true and exposes a reality not always rosy in these cities "mestizo" Israeli. Which combines the Arab and Jewish Israelis. If the subject seems a bit cliche, it is imaged in a very efficient and so authentic, the reality of Jaffa in 2010 with many Israeli Arabs. Could exist but in a braise ready to ignite. The film had already been noticed in Cannes also has a Facebook page . Here's the excellent trailer:
