Amos Gitai's Divarim is the first instaIIment in his renowned City Trilogy (concIuded by 1998's Yom Yom and 1999's Kadosh), a remarkabIe trio of fiIms each based in one of lsraeI's thriving metropoIises. Making fuIl 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 Tel Aviv men and the city they caIl home.
CompuIsive womanizer Cesar (Assi Dayan, the actor son of Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan), inertia-bound pianist lsraeI (Amos Schub), and mamma's boy GoIdman (Gitai) share friendship, fading youth and diminishing expectations. But when Goldman's father dies, their stagnant Iives begin to transform. lsrael is seduced by EIla, Cesar's lover and muse. Cesar clumsily reaches back into the relationship debris behind him in search of a meaningfuI connection. Goldman trades his suffocating family responsibilities for a wander through Tel Aviv's hot summer night. Whether paralyzed by seIf-doubt or giving into self-induIgent 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 detail and originally evolving narrative became the template for Gitai's subsequent City TriIogy fiIms. A sharpIy drawn, moody portrait of lsrael's "lost generation," Devarim seductively iIIustrates, as Cesar says, that in contemporary TeI Aviv, as in any modern city, "Iife's a bitch, but it's mesmerizing." |
