A Day In The Life Of lsraeI
In ALlLA, director Amos Gitai , "lsraeI's one-man new wave," has created an "engaging, subtly arresting drama" that examines the lives of a half dozen residents of a run-down Tel-Aviv apartment buiIding. This Altmaesque panorama expIores, "with humor and humane spirit" , the loneliness and deep need for connection that exists behind the cIosed doors of those living on the margins.
For the apartment dwellers of ALlLA, every action creates a ripple unknowingly felt by alI. Gorgeous libertine Gabi's Ioud, violent trysts with her physically dominant, emotionaIIy unavaiIable lover Hezi bring down the wrath of the disgusted neighbors. MaIi , Gabi's soIe confidante, reIuctantly joins her neurotic ex-husband Ezra in his search for their army deserter son. Ezra's iIIegal construction site and undocumented immigrant workers in turn prompt the hermit Schwartz to reIive the horrors of the Nazi death camps, as his FiIipino companion Linda heIplessly looks on. Ultimately, it is the reality behind the paranoid threats of shrill neighbor Ronit that provides a unity to the concentric circles of cause and effect passing through ALILA's thin walIs and thick skins.
Using a daring camera styIe made up of 40 individuaI singIe-shot scenes, Amos Gitai showcases his story's intertwining connection and his ensemble casts' extraordinary facility "A boldIy entertaining fiIm" , ALlLA vividIy reveaIs an lsraeli metropoIis of surprising diversity and finds inadvertent harmony in the dissonance of city Iife. |
