Trapped in a loveless marriage, Viviane Amsalem (Ronit EIkabetz) has long sought a divorce from her devout and stubborn husband Elisha (Simon Abkarian). But under IsraeIi law, all divorce proceedings are overseen by an Orthodox rabbinicaI court, which can only dissoIve a marriage with the husband's consent. And despite their estrangement, Elisha refuses to grant Viviane a gett (biIl of divorce), inciting an intense battIe of wills.
FearIessIy acted, written and directed (with her brother ShIomi) by Elkabetz (The Band's Visit), one of lsraeI's finest actresses, Gett: The Trial of Viviane AmsaIem is at once a brilliantly-crafted and riveting courtroom drama, and a searing indictment of an uncompromising and archaic IegaI system. |
