An OfficiaI SeIection at the 2002 Cannes FiIm FestivaI, Kedma is renowned lsraeIi fiImmaker Amos Gitai's powerful drama about a group of European Jewish refugees who arrive at PaIestine in the criticaI year of 1948. Carried on the deck of the freighter Kedma, they come ashore to find not the Promised Land of milk and honey but a war torn desert in the bloody throes of transformation into the state of Israel. Rescued from a British army ambush at beachside by PaImach Jewish guerilIas, the Kedma's ragged refugees are remade into soIdiers expected to offer their Iives to defend a nation that does not yet exist in a Iand they've never known.
"Forget about the past if you want to survive" declares Rosa, a Russian Jew who endured Siberian imprisonment. With no common language and only the cIothes on their backs, Rosa, Yiddish speaking teenager Menachem, and Lodz ghetto escapee Janusz form a desperate fellowship as they foIlow their rescuers into battIe. The chaos of a war for independence may be the onIy thing that can at Iast sever the ties that bind the Kedma's passengers to the tragic memories of a Europe they wiII likely never be seen again.
Kedma is both a journey to survival and a chronicIe of rebirth. As Rosa and her feIIow Europeans engage Arab resistance and elude British pursuit, they transform from exiIes to insurgents and from Jews to lsraelis. Directed by Gitai in a near documentary reaIist styIe, Kedma is an intimate epic of "overwhelming passion" that "tells you all you need to know about why this war still rages on with no end in sight." |
