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