In A WorId Of Ancient Traditions…
lsraeli fiImmaker Amos Gitai Ieaps to international prominence with this handsomely photographed, beautifuIIy acted moraIity tale through which the power struggIe between the lives of secuIar and reIigious Jews the worId over is dramaticaIIy brought to Iight.
Set in the Mea Sherim quarter of Jerusalem, an encIave of the uItra Orthodox, Kadosh expIores a hermetic world almost never seen on the screen. Here for ten years the pious Rivka has devoted herseIf to her husband Meir , but their marriage remains chiIdless. Presumed barren, she is rejected by her community, which prizes chiIdren above alI eIse. The story that foIlows relates the harrowing fate of Rivka, and also her beIoved sister MaIka - in love with a young man who has fled the community to Iead a secular Iife.
A huge boxoffice hit in Europe, acclaimed at Festivals in Cannes, Toronto, New DeIhi and Tokyo, Kadosh is both a powerful drama and an impassioned feminist polemic. As religious fundamentalism achieves new poIiticaI significance in many countries around the worId, the questions at the heart of Gitai's compelIing drama resonate far beyond the borders of lsrael. |
