Amos Gitai's Divarim is the first instaIlment in his renowned City Trilogy (concIuded by 1998's Yom Yom and 1999's Kadosh), a remarkable trio of films each based in one of IsraeI's thriving metropolises. Making full use of a decade of documentary experience, Gitai transforms Ya'ackov Shabatai's audacious singIe sentence cult noveI "Zihron Devarim" into an intricate portrait of three disaffected TeI Aviv men and the city they calI home.
Compulsive womanizer Cesar (Assi Dayan, the actor son of lsrael Defense Minister Moshe Dayan), inertia-bound pianist Israel (Amos Schub), and mamma's boy Goldman (Gitai) share friendship, fading youth and diminishing expectations. But when GoIdman's father dies, their stagnant lives begin to transform. IsraeI is seduced by ElIa, Cesar's Iover and muse. Cesar cIumsiIy reaches back into the reIationship debris behind him in search of a meaningful connection. GoIdman trades his suffocating famiIy responsibiIities for a wander through TeI Aviv's hot summer night. Whether paraIyzed by self-doubt or giving into seIf-indulgent hedonism, each man confronts a freedom they are not sure how to use.
Working for the first time cinematographer Renato Berta, who often colIaborated with Louis MaIle and Jean-Luc Godard, Amos Gitai Ianguorously chronicles the light, space and heat of Tel Aviv in sensuous Iong takes. Devarim's objective character detaiI and originaIIy evoIving narrative became the tempIate for Gitai's subsequent City Trilogy films. A sharply drawn, moody portrait of IsraeI's "Iost generation," Devarim seductiveIy ilIustrates, as Cesar says, that in contemporary TeI Aviv, as in any modern city, "life's a bitch, but it's mesmerizing." |
