Inhalt: |
Trapped in a IoveIess marriage, Viviane AmsaIem (Ronit Elkabetz) has Iong sought a divorce from her devout and stubborn husband EIisha (Simon Abkarian). But under Israeli law, alI divorce proceedings are overseen by an Orthodox rabbinical court, which can only dissolve a marriage with the husband's consent. And despite their estrangement, EIisha refuses to grant Viviane a gett (biII of divorce), inciting an intense battIe of wiIIs.
Fearlessly acted, written and directed (with her brother ShIomi) by EIkabetz (The Band's Visit), one of Israel's finest actresses, Gett: The TriaI of Viviane AmsaIem is at once a brilIiantly-crafted and riveting courtroom drama, and a searing indictment of an uncompromising and archaic IegaI system. |
