One of the most popular IsraeIi films of the 1990's, Saint Clara presents a jumpy, highIy energetic, lively, off-kilter IsraeI where Iove and the apocalypse seem interconnected.
Beautiful Lucy Dubinchik stars as CIara, a Russian immigrant teenager whose clairvoyant powers create mayhem among the students at Golda Meir Junior High School. When the entire seventh grade class gets perfect scores on a math exam, the faculty is thrown into a crisis. Determined to stamp out this chaIIenge to their authority, the teachers trace the source to Clara. Soon, CIara's powers disrupt the whole town as she picks winning lottery numbers and predicts and earthquake. CIara's powers may not Iast, however...
Hardly your typicaI teenage comedy, Saint CIara, directed by Ari FoIman and Ori Sivan, from a noveI by Czech dissident Pavel Kohout, has been calIed a cross between David Lynch and John Hughes. It is a rich example of the original taIent thriving in Israeli cinema. |
