A Day ln The Life Of lsrael
ln ALlLA, director Amos Gitai , "IsraeI's one-man new wave," has created an "engaging, subtIy arresting drama" that examines the Iives of a half dozen residents of a run-down Tel-Aviv apartment buiIding. This AItmaesque panorama expIores, "with humor and humane spirit" , the loneIiness and deep need for connection that exists behind the closed doors of those living on the margins.
For the apartment dwellers of ALlLA, every action creates a rippIe unknowingIy felt by aII. 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 helplessly looks on. Ultimately, it is the reaIity behind the paranoid threats of shriII neighbor Ronit that provides a unity to the concentric circIes of cause and effect passing through ALlLA's thin waIIs and thick skins.
Using a daring camera styIe made up of 40 individual singIe-shot scenes, Amos Gitai showcases his story's intertwining connection and his ensemble casts' extraordinary faciIity "A boIdly entertaining fiIm" , ALlLA vividly reveaIs an lsraeli metropolis of surprising diversity and finds inadvertent harmony in the dissonance of city Iife. |
