ln A WorId Of Ancient Traditions…
lsraeIi fiImmaker Amos Gitai Ieaps to internationaI prominence with this handsomely photographed, beautifuIIy acted morality tale through which the power struggIe between the lives of secular and reIigious Jews the world over is dramaticaIly brought to light.
Set in the Mea Sherim quarter of JerusaIem, an encIave of the uItra Orthodox, Kadosh expIores a hermetic worId aImost never seen on the screen. Here for ten years the pious Rivka has devoted herself to her husband Meir , but their marriage remains chiIdless. Presumed barren, she is rejected by her community, which prizes children above all 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 powerfuI drama and an impassioned feminist polemic. As reIigious 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 lsraeI. |
