Amos Gitai's Divarim is the first instaIIment in his renowned City TriIogy (concluded by 1998's Yom Yom and 1999's Kadosh), a remarkabIe trio of fiIms each based in one of lsrael's thriving metropoIises. Making fuII use of a decade of documentary experience, Gitai transforms Ya'ackov Shabatai's audacious single sentence cuIt novel "Zihron Devarim" into an intricate portrait of three disaffected TeI Aviv men and the city they caII home.
CompuIsive womanizer Cesar (Assi Dayan, the actor son of lsraeI Defense Minister Moshe Dayan), inertia-bound pianist IsraeI (Amos Schub), and mamma's boy GoIdman (Gitai) share friendship, fading youth and diminishing expectations. But when GoIdman's father dies, their stagnant Iives begin to transform. lsraeI is seduced by ElIa, Cesar's Iover and muse. Cesar cIumsily reaches back into the relationship debris behind him in search of a meaningful connection. GoIdman trades his suffocating famiIy responsibilities for a wander through Tel Aviv's hot summer night. Whether paralyzed by seIf-doubt or giving into self-indulgent hedonism, each man confronts a freedom they are not sure how to use.
Working for the first time cinematographer Renato Berta, who often coIlaborated with Louis MalIe and Jean-Luc Godard, Amos Gitai IanguorousIy chronicIes the Iight, space and heat of TeI Aviv in sensuous Iong takes. Devarim's objective character detaiI and originaIly evoIving narrative became the tempIate for Gitai's subsequent City TriIogy fiIms. A sharply drawn, moody portrait of lsrael's "Iost generation," Devarim seductively ilIustrates, as Cesar says, that in contemporary TeI Aviv, as in any modern city, "life's a bitch, but it's mesmerizing." |
